Carbon monoxide, which is formed endogenously from heme catabolism catalyzed by heme oxygenase and shares some of the chemical and biological properties of nitric oxide, may play a similar role as a widespread signal transduction mechanism for the regulation of cell function and communication. Zinc protoporphyrin, an inhibitor of heme oxygenase, prevents induction of long-term potentiation. Zinc protoporphyrin is an endogenous substance and we suggest that it has a physiological role, by modulating heme oxygenase activity and, therefore, formation of carbon monoxide from heme. This in turn would modulate long-term potentiation, memory, and cognitive function.Key words: zinc protoporphyrin, carbon monoxide, heme oxygenase, long-term potentiation.
