Cr(III) Protoporphyrin IX Chloride (CAS 41628-83-5)
QUICK LINKS
Cr(III) Protoporphyrin IX Chloride is a compound that functions as a competitive inhibitor of heme oxygenase, an enzyme involved in the degradation of heme to biliverdin. By binding to the active site of heme oxygenase, it prevents the enzymatic conversion of heme to biliverdin, leading to the accumulation of heme within the cell. This accumulation of heme can be utilized in experimental applications to study the regulation of heme metabolism and its impact on cellular processes. Cr(III) Protoporphyrin IX Chloride may be used to investigate the role of heme oxygenase in oxidative stress and cellular signaling pathways, providing insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying these processes. Its mechanism of action at the molecular level may allow for the manipulation of heme metabolism in experimental models, contributing to the understanding of cellular responses to heme accumulation and its implications for cellular function.
