SpeciesSaccharomyces cerevisiae
StrainBaker's yeast
DescriptionProtoporphyrin IX is an intermediate in the heme biosynthesis from uroporphyrinogen-III pathway. In this pathway, protoporphyrin IX is obtained from protoporphyrinogen IX and converted to protoheme IX. Protoheme IX is the final product in this pathway but different derivatives of protoheme can actually be formed that differ in modifications to the porphyrin ring, including how it is bound to the protein (e.g. heme o, heme a, heme c, and heme d).
