Identification
NameSiroheme biosynthesis protein MET8
Synonyms
  • Precorrin-2 dehydrogenase
  • Sirohydrochlorin ferrochelatase
Gene NameMET8
Enzyme Class
Biological Properties
General FunctionInvolved in binding
Specific FunctionCatalyzes the conversion of precorrin-2 into siroheme. This reaction consist of the NAD-dependent oxidation of precorrin- 2 into sirohydrochlorin and its subsequent ferrochelation into siroheme
