show Brenda entry

EC number

1.3.3.4

Accepted name

protoporphyrinogen oxidase

Reaction

protoporphyrinogen IX + 3 O₂ = protoporphyrin IX + 3 H₂O₂

Other name(s)

protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase, protoporphyrinogenase, PPO, Protox, HemG, HemY

Systematic name

protoporphyrinogen-IX:oxygen oxidoreductase

CAS registry number

53986-32-6

Comment

This is the last common enzyme in the biosynthesis of chlorophylls and heme [8]. Two isoenzymes exist in plants: one in plastids and the other in mitochondria. This is the target enzyme of phthalimide-type and diphenylether-type herbicides [8]. The enzyme from oxygen-dependent species contains FAD [9]. Also slowly oxidizes mesoporphyrinogen IX.
