The heme exporter FLVCR regulates mitochondrial biogenesis and redox balance in the hematophagous insect <i>Rhodnius prolixus</i>

2023-08-07

Abstract excerpt

Heme is a prosthetic group of proteins involved in vital physiological processes in aerobic organisms. It participates in redox reactions crucial for cell metabolism due to the variable oxidation state of its central iron atom. However, excessive heme can be cytotoxic due to its prooxidant properties. Therefore, the control of intracellular heme levels ensures the survival of organisms, especially those that deal...
