Characteristics of the protein coding sequence
Ferrochelatase
EN
Ferrochelatase is the last enzyme of the heme biosynthetic pathway. It catalyzes the insertion of iron into protoporphyrin to form heme. It is synthesized in the cytoplasm as a 43-kDa protein that is proteolytically processed to 40 kDa as it is translocated into the mitochondrion.
