Function

CPFC_BACSU Involved in coproporphyrin-dependent heme b biosynthesis (PubMed:25646457, PubMed:25908396). Catalyzes the insertion of ferrous iron into coproporphyrin III to form Fe-coproporphyrin III (PubMed:25646457, PubMed:25908396). It can also insert iron into protoporphyrin IX (PubMed:1459957, PubMed:8119288, PubMed:21052751, PubMed:25646457). Has weaker activity with 2,4 disulfonate, deuteroporphyrin and 2,4 hydroxyethyl (PubMed:25646457, PubMed:12761666). In vitro, can also use Zn(2+) or Cu(2+) (PubMed:8119288, PubMed:16140324, PubMed:21052751, PubMed:12761666).^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]}
