Function
EFEB_ECO57 Involved in the recovery of exogenous heme iron. Extracts iron from heme while preserving the protoporphyrin ring intact. Also displays peroxidase activity on guaiacol and catechol in vitro. The deferrochelatase activity appears to be closely related to the peroxidation activity, but the link is unclear.[1]
