Porphyrin Biosynthesis: 5. Biosynthesis of Protoporphyrin IX in Harderian Glands

The enzymic system that catalyzes the total synthesis of protoporphyrin IX has been found in the Harderian gland of the rat. The presence of the enzyme δ‐aminolevulinic acid synthetase was demonstrated in mitochondria by the formation of [14C]δ‐aminolevulinic acid. On incubation of homogenates of th...
