Cobalt protoporphyrin IX

SKU: orb2278517

Description

Cobalt Protoporphyrin IX (CoPP) is a specific and potent inducer of the enzyme heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1). Its induction of HO-1 underlies its broad-spectrum antiviral activity, notably against Influenza A virus, making it a valuable research tool for studying cytoprotection and host-pathogen interactions in both cellular and animal models.
