WHAT DOES PROTOPORPHYRIN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Protoporphyrin

Protoporphyrins are tetrapyrroles containing the following side chains: ▪ methyl ▪ propionic acid ▪ vinyl Protoporphyrin IX is a biochemically widely used carrier molecule for divalent cations. Together with iron the body of the heme- group of hemoglobin, myoglobin and many other heme-containing enzymes like cytochrome c and catalase are formed. Complexed with magnesium-ions the main part of the Chlorophylls are formed. Complexed with zinc-ions it forms Zinc protoporphyrin. The number indicates the position of different side chains, but historically, as the nomenclature has grown, it has done so systematically only in parts. Protoporphyrin IX as a direct precursor of heme is accumulated by patients of erythropoietic protoporphyria, which is one of the genetic disorders of the biosynthesis of the heme -pathway. It causes a severe photosensivity against visible light. The sensitivity of protoporphyrin IX against light is also used as a therapy against different forms of cancer. Protoporphyrins are deposited in the shells of the eggs of some birds as a brown or red pigment, either as a ground colour or as spotting.

Definition of protoporphyrin in the English dictionary

The definition of protoporphyrin in the dictionary is a type of porphyrin that, when combined with an iron atom, forms haem, the oxygen-bearing prosthetic group of the red blood pigment haemoglobin.
