ENZYME

ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.14.18

Accepted Name
heme oxygenase (biliverdin-producing)
Alternative Name(s)
heme oxidase
heme oxygenase
heme oxygenase (decyclizing)
Reaction catalysed
heme b + 3 O2 + 3 reduced [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase] = biliverdin IXalpha + CO + Fe(2+) + H(+) + 3 H2O + 3 oxidized [NADPH--hemoprotein reductase]
Comment(s)
  • 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.
  • The third oxygen molecule provides the oxygen atom that converts the alpha-carbon to CO.
  • The enzyme requires NAD(P)H and EC 1.6.2.4. cf. EC 1.14.15.20.
  • Formerly EC 1.14.99.3.
