Notes: Heme oxygenases (HOs) convert protoheme to biliverdin, which in turn is enzymatically metabolized to bilirubin (Item No. 17161). Tin mesoporphyrin IX is a potent, competitive inhibitor of HO activity in vitro (Ki = 14 nM).{30698} It inhibits hepatic, renal, and splenic HO activity in vivo for extended periods of time.{30698} Tin mesoporphyrin IX blocks bilirubin production in vivo, decreasing HO activity in animal models of hyperbilirubinemia.{30698,26672,30699} Tin mesoporphyrin IX can be used to study the physiological roles of induced HO-1 expression in animal models.{30697,30700,30701}
