After exposure to hypoxia and heme or heme/hemopexin, soluble heme oxygenase 1 (HMOX1) is detected in the nucleus. Nuclear localization is also associated with reduction of HMOX1 activity. HMOX1 protein, whether it s enzymatically active or not, mediates activation of oxidant-responsive transcription factors, including activator protein-1 (AP-1). Nevertheless, nuclear HMOX1 protects cells against hydrogen peroxide-mediated injury equally as well as cytoplasmic HMOX1 (Lin et al, 2007).
