Abstract excerpt
Ferrochelatase catalyzes the insertion of Fe(2+) into protoporphyrin IX to generate protoheme. In higher plants, there is evidence for two isoforms of this enzyme that fulfill different roles. Here, we describe the isolation of a second ferrochelatase cDNA from cucumber (CsFeC2) that was less sim...
