SYSTEMATIC NAME
IUBMB Comments
protoheme,NADPH-hemoprotein reductase:oxygen oxidoreductase (alpha-methene-oxidizing, hydroxylating)
This mammalian enzyme participates in the degradation of heme. The terminal oxygen atoms that are incorporated into the carbonyl groups of pyrrole rings A and B of biliverdin are derived from two separate oxygen molecules [4]. The third oxygen molecule provides the oxygen atom that converts the alpha-carbon to CO. The enzyme requires NAD(P)H and EC 1.6.2.4, NADPH---hemoprotein reductase. cf. EC 1.14.15.20, heme oxygenase (biliverdin-producing, ferredoxin).
