Protein
Oxygen-dependent coproporphyrinogen-III oxidase
Organism
Drosophila melanogaster
Function
Involved in the heme biosynthesis. Catalyzes the aerobic oxidative decarboxylation of propionate groups of rings A and B of coproporphyrinogen-III to yield the vinyl groups in protoporphyrinogen-IX (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the aerobic coproporphyrinogen-III oxidase family.
