Descripción

General description

Protoporphyrin IX belongs to the porphyrin family, which are a class of tetrapyrroles. It is the iron-free form of hemin and amphiphilic in nature. It is the precursor of heme in its biosynthetic pathway.[1][2][3]

Protoporphyrin IX imparts red color to heme and is the major porphyrin in blood. It is synthesized from protoporphyrinogen IX in the presence of protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase.[4]

Application

Activates soluble guanylyl cyclase.

Protoporphyrin IX has been used:

• as a standard in protoporphyrin assays[5]
• in fluorescence spectra analysis[6]
• to treat cells in cell culture to study heme-mediated ferroportin 1 transcription[7]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Protoporphyrin IX penetrates human erythrocytes and aids the release of oxygen from them. It forms complexes with myoglobin and hemoglobin. It is a photosensitizer used in the photodynamic therapy of cancer.[1][2]

Protoporphyrin IX levels are elevated in tumor cells due to metabolism anomalies compared to normal cells.[4]
