Abstract excerpt
Coproporphyrinogen oxidase is a mitochondrial heme-biosynthetic enzyme that converts coproporphyrinogen to protoporphyrinogen. Inherited deficiency of this enzyme causes the human genetic disease hereditary coproporphyria. Recently, we isolated, sequenced and expressed the cDNA encoding human cop...
