DescriptionProtoheme IX (heme b or heme) is the final product in the heme biosynthesis from uroporphyrinogen-III pathway. It is an iron-containing prosthetic group found in many essential proteins including cytochromes and heme-containing globins. In addition to its role in oxidative metabolism, heme also functions as a regulatory molecule in transcription, translation, protein targeting, protein stability, and cellular differentiation. 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).
