Protoporphyrin IX is an organic compound, classified as a porphyrin, that plays an important role in living organisms as a precursor to other critical...

and protoporphyrinogen IX, which is oxidised to the fully aromatic protoporphyrin IX. Insertion of iron into protoporphyrin IX in for example mammals...

Zinc protoporphyrin (ZPP) refers to coordination complexes of zinc and protoporphyrin IX. It is a red-purple solid that is soluble in water. The complex...

biosynthesis of heme, converting protoporphyrin IX into heme B. It catalyses the reaction: protoheme + 2 H+ = protoporphyrin + Fe2+ Ferrochelatase catalyzes...

In enzymology, a magnesium protoporphyrin IX methyltransferase (EC 2.1.1.11) is an enzyme that catalyzes the chemical reaction S-adenosyl-L-methionine...

in the cytosol and finally gets converted to Protoporphyrin IX inside the mitochondria. This protoporphyrin molecule chelates with iron in presence of enzyme...

Protoporphyrinogen oxidase is responsible for the seventh step in biosynthesis of protoporphyrin IX. This porphyrin is the precursor to hemoglobin, the oxygen carrier...

three-component enzyme (EC 6.6.1.1) that catalyses the insertion of Mg2+ into protoporphyrin IX. This is the first unique step in the synthesis of chlorophyll and...

Magnesium-protoporphyrin IX monomethyl ester (oxidative) cyclase (EC 1.14.13.81), is an enzyme with systematic name magnesium-protoporphyrin-IX 13-monomethyl...

Derivatives of protoporphyrin IX are common in nature, the precursor to hemes. Octaethylporphyrin (H2OEP) is a synthetic analogue of protoporphyrin IX. Unlike...
