case <OC:Bacillota> or <OC:Actinomycetota>
FUNCTIONInvolved in coproporphyrin-dependent heme b biosynthesis. Catalyzes the insertion of ferrous iron into coproporphyrin III to form Fe-coproporphyrin III.
CATALYTIC ACTIVITY Reaction=Fe-coproporphyrin III + 2 H(+) = coproporphyrin III + Fe(2+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:49572, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:29033, ChEBI:CHEBI:68438, ChEBI:CHEBI:131725; EC=4.99.1.9; PhysiologicalDirection=right-to-left; Xref=Rhea:RHEA:49574;
PATHWAYPorphyrin-containing compound metabolism; protoheme biosynthesis.
else
