N-Methyl protoporphyrin IX Chemical Properties, Uses, Production

Description

N-methyl Protoporphyrin IX is a transition state analog that potently inhibits protoporphyrin IX ferrochelatase (Ki = 10 nM), blocking the terminal step of the heme biosynthetic pathway. It is used to study the effect of heme synthesis blockade in cell systems.

Uses

N-Methylprotoporphyrin IX is a potent inhibitor of ferrochelatase enzyme[1].
