Biological Activity

Description Hemin (protohemin) is an iron-containing porphyrin used in the management of porphyria attacks, particularly in acute intermittent porphyria.Hemin is an Heme oxygenase (HO)-1 inducer.This product has poor solubility, animal experiments are available, cell experiments please choose carefully!
In vitro

Treatment of hemin or AFC damped the expression of TFRC in CT26 cells, which can be significantly rescued by overexpression of OTUD1.[1]

In vivo

Following the i.p. administration of Hemin (100 μM/kg), the HO-1 level in the renal cortex begins to increase gradually. The HO-1 level reaches its peak 24 h after Hemin preconditioning. HO-1 is expressed mainly in the renal tubules. The HO-2 level in the kidney does not change following Hemin preconditioning.

Protocol (from reference)

Cell Assay:

[1]

  • Cell lines

    CT26 cells

  • Concentrations

    100 μM

  • Incubation Time

    30 min

  • Method

    Mock‐ and OTUD1‐expressing CT26 cells are treated with hemin (100 μM). Flow cytometric analyses the TFRC expression.
