Protein
Oxygen-independent coproporphyrinogen III oxidase
Organism
Rhodobacter sphaeroides (strain ATCC 17023 / 2.4.1 / NCIB 8253 / DSM 158)
Function
Involved in the heme and chlorophyll biosynthesis. Catalyzes the anaerobic oxidative decarboxylation of propionate groups of rings A and B of coproporphyrinogen III to yield the vinyl groups in protoporphyrinogen IX.
Similarity
Belongs to the anaerobic coproporphyrinogen-III oxidase family.
