Product Description
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. 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. Application：Protoporphyrin IX has been used: as a standard in protoporphyrin assays； in fluorescence spectra analysis； to treat cells in cell culture to study heme-mediated ferroportin 1 transcription； Activates soluble guanylyl cyclase.
