| Other name(s): |
ORP33 proteins; haem oxygenase (ambiguous); heme oxygenase (decyclizing) (ambiguous); heme oxidase (ambiguous); haem oxidase (ambiguous); heme oxygenase (ambiguous); heme,hydrogen-donor:oxygen oxidoreductase (α-methene-oxidizing, hydroxylating) |
| Systematic name: |
protoheme,NADPH—hemoprotein reductase:oxygen oxidoreductase (α-methene-oxidizing, hydroxylating) |
| Comments: |
This mammalian enzyme participates in the degradation of heme. The terminal oxygen atoms that are incorporated into the carbonyl groups of pyrrole rings A and B of biliverdin are derived from two separate oxygen molecules [4]. The third oxygen molecule provides the oxygen atom that converts the α-carbon to CO. The enzyme requires NAD(P)H and EC 1.6.2.4, NADPH—hemoprotein reductase. cf. EC 1.14.15.20, heme oxygenase (biliverdin-producing, ferredoxin). |
