MeSH Heading: Coproporphyrinogen Oxidase
Tree Number(s): D08.811.682.660.250
Unique ID: D003304
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D003304
Scope Note: An enzyme that catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of coproporphyrinogen III to protoporphyrinogen IX by the conversion of two propionate groups to two vinyl groups. It is the sixth enzyme in the 8-enzyme biosynthetic pathway of HEME, and is encoded by CPO gene. Mutations of CPO gene result in HEREDITARY COPROPORPHYRIA.
Entry Term(s): Coproporphyrinogen III Oxidases; Coproporphyrinogenase
Registry Number: EC 1.3.3.3
CAS Type 1 Name: Coproporphyrinogen:oxygen oxidoreductase (decarboxylating)
