Gene information for CPOX (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID1371
Official gene symbolCPOX
Full namecoproporphyrinogen oxidase
Aliases,CPO,CPX,HCP,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is the sixth enzyme of the heme biosynthetic pathway. The encoded enzyme is soluble and found in the intermembrane space of mitochondria. This enzyme catalyzes the stepwise oxidative decarboxylation of coproporphyrinogen III to protoporphyrinogen IX, a precursor of heme. Defects in this gene are a cause of hereditary coproporphyria (HCP).
