Description
Predicted to have oxygen-dependent protoporphyrinogen oxidase activity. Predicted to be involved in heme biosynthetic process. Predicted to localize to intrinsic component of mitochondrial inner membrane. Used to study variegate porphyria. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in variegate porphyria. Is expressed in blood cell; intermediate cell mass of mesoderm; and lateral plate mesoderm. Orthologous to human PPOX (protoporphyrinogen oxidase).
