StrainBaker's yeast
DescriptionProtoporphyrinogen IX is an intermediate in the heme biosynthesis from uroporphyrinogen-III pathway. In this pathway, protoporphyrinogen IX is obtained from coproporphyrinogen III and converted to protoporphyrin 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).
