Activating Compound

Activating Compound Comment Organism Structure
additional information b5 reductase required for the full enzyme activity Mus musculus
additional information recombinant ferrochelatase exhibits iron removal activity when added together with purified recombinant b5 reductase Homo sapiens

Application

Application Comment Organism
additional information reverse reaction of ferrochelatase, which may contribute to a new route of the recycling of protoporphyrin and heme in cells Mus musculus

Source Tissue

Source Tissue Comment Organism Textmining
BALB/3T3 cell conversion of mesoporphyrin is dependent on the expression of ferrochelatase, since control Balb/3T3 cells have much lower expression of ferrochelatase than the ferrochelatase transfectants Mus musculus

additional information M-TAT cell, when induced to undergo erythroid differentiation M-TAT cells convert more zinc mesoporphyrin than control cells, accompanied by an increase in hemoglobin-synthesizing cells Homo sapiens
