MeSH Heading: Protoporphyrinogen Oxidase
Tree Number(s): D08.811.682.660.600; D12.776.543.697
Unique ID: D050768
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D050768
Scope Note: A membrane-bound flavoenzyme that catalyzes the oxygen-dependent aromatization of protoporphyrinogen IX (Protogen) to protoporphyrin IX (Proto IX). It is the last enzyme of the common branch of the HEME and CHLOROPHYLL pathways in plants, and is the molecular target of diphenyl ether-type herbicides. VARIEGATE PORPHYRIA is an autosomal dominant disorder associated with deficiency of protoporphyrinogen oxidase.
Entry Term(s): Protoporphyrinogen Dehydrogenase; Protoporphyrinogen IX Oxidase; Protoporphyrinogenase; Protox
Previous Indexing: Oxidoreductases (1993-2003); Oxidoreductases Acting on CH-CH Group Donors (2004-2005); Porphyrins (1975-1976); Protoporphyrins (1975-1982)
