MeSH definition : 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.;
MeSH synonym : oxidases, coproporphyrinogen iii; coproporphyrinogenase; coproporphyrinogen iii oxidases; iii oxidases, coproporphyrinogen; oxidase, coproporphyrinogen;
Wikipedia automatic translation : Coproporphyrinogen III oxidase;
MeSH CAS label : coproporphyrinogen:oxygen oxidoreductase (decarboxylating);
Registry Number MeSH : EC 1.3.3.3;
