Chromosomal Localization of the Human Heme Oxygenase Genes: Heme Oxygenase-1 (HMOX1) Maps to Chromosome 22q12 and Heme Oxygenase-2 (HMOX2) Maps to Chromosome 16p13.3

Abstract: Heme oxygenase catalyzes the oxidation of heme to biliverdin, the precursor of the bile pigment bilirubin, and carbon monoxide, a putative neurotransmitter. We have employed polymerase chain reaction and fluorescence in situ hybridization to determine the chromosome localization of the genes coding for the two known heme oxygenase isozymes. Heme oxygenase-1 (HMOX1), the inducible form, was localized to human chromosome 22q12, while heme oxygenase-2 (HMOX2), the constitutive form, was localized to chromosome 16… Show more

“…Sequences 5Ј to Ϫ194 in MCF TX400 matched the 5Ј UTR of CDP alternately spliced product (CASP), an alternately spliced variant of CCAAT displacement protein (CDP), a gene previously localized to 7q22 (17,18). Sequences 5Ј of Ϫ194 in S48-3s ACT 0.1 cells were homologous to the 5Ј UTR of heme-oxygenase 2 (HO-2), which is on chromosome 16 (19). As shown in Fig.…”

“…HO-2 has been cloned from rat, mouse, and human and they share more than 90% protein homology. Human HO-2 is mapped to chromosome 16q13.3 (Kutty et al, 1994a;Abraham et al, 1996).…”

“…The human HO-1 gene has been mapped to chromosome 22q12 (6), and the number of guanosine thymidine dinucleotide repeats [(GT) n ] in the HO-1 gene microsatellite promoter is inversely associated with HO-1 mRNA levels and enzyme activity (7). An increased susceptibility to CV events and increased mortality of longer (GT) n in the HO-1 gene promoter have been reported in high-risk patients with coronary heart disease (CHD), hypercholesterolemia, diabetes mellitus, history of smoking, peripheral artery disease, or arsenic exposure (7)(8)(9)(10)(11).…”
