| Coproporphyrinogen III Oxidases; III Oxidases, Coproporphyrinogen; Oxidase, Coproporphyrinogen; Oxidases, Coproporphyrinogen III | |
| 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. | |
