Heterologous expression and purification of recombinant human protoporphyrinogen oxidase IX: A comparative study

Human protoporphyrinogen oxidase IX (hPPO) is an oxygen-dependent enzyme catalyzing the penultimate step in the heme biosynthesis pathway.Mutations in the Collections enzyme are linked to variegate porphyria, an autosomal dominant metabolic disease.Here we investigated eukaryotic cells as alternative systems for heterologous expression of hPPO, as
