It inserts ferrous iron into protoporphyrin IX to form heme an essential component of hemoglobin myoglobin and various cytochromes. FECH has a molecular weight of approximately 43 kDa and is expressed in tissues with high heme demand like bone marrow and liver. Alternative names for FECH include protoporphyrinogen IX ferrochelatase and protoporphyrin ferro-lyase.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nFECH plays an important role in the production of heme facilitating the incorporation of iron into protoporphyrin IX. This reaction is not operating alone; FECH functions as part of multienzyme complexes in the mitochondria tightly regulated to meet cellular heme requirements. The activity of FECH ensures the proper functioning of heme-dependent proteins impacting oxygen transport and cellular respiration.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nFECH significantly contributes to the heme biosynthesis pathway. It interacts closely with other enzymes in the pathway such as aminolevulinate synthase (ALAS) and porphobilinogen deaminase essential for the step-wise production of heme. FECH's interaction with these proteins ensures the efficient flow of intermediates throughout the heme biosynthesis pathway ultimately impacting the synthesis of important heme proteins like cytochromes.\u003cbr\u003e\nFECH mutations lead to erythropoietic protoporphyria (EPP) a condition characterized by sensitivity to sunlight and liver complications. The defective FECH reduces heme production efficiency causing protoporphyrin accumulation in red blood cells. FECH also interacts with proteins involved in mitochondrial function affecting iron metabolism and potentially linking to disorders such as sideroblastic anemia where abnormal erythropoiesis occurs due to defects in iron incorporation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46850278457513,"sku":"ab137042","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/abcam-ab137042","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
