PubMed PubMed Product Detail CPOX is a 454 amino acid mitochondrial enzyme that is localized to the inner membrane space of erythrocytes. It participates in the sixth step of heme biosynthesis by catalyzing the formation of protoporphyrinogen IX from copropophyrinogen III. Mutations in the gene encoding CPOX are the cause of coproporphyria, an autosomal dominant disease characterized by skin photosensitivity and neurological disturbances. Symptoms are often experienced as attacks, which include severe abdominal and nerve pain. People affected by coproporphyria overexcrete copropophyrinogen III in feces and urine and the enzymatic activity of CPOX is found to be approximately half that of normal, leading to a decrease in overall heme synthesis. There is no cure for coproporphyria, but preventative treatment to relieve symptoms usually involves dietary changes and avoidance of drugs and alcohol.
Function:
Coproporphyrinogen Oxidase (CPOX) is the sixth enzyme of the heme biosynthetic pathway. This soluble protein is localized in the intermembrane space of mitochondria and its catalytic activy mediates the coversion of Coproporphyrinogen-III + O2 + 2 H+ into Protoporphyrinogen-IX + 2 CO2 + 2 H2O. Defects in CPOX are the cause of hereditary coproporphyria
Subunit:
Homodimer.
Subcellular Location:
Mitochondrion intermembrane space.
DISEASE:
Defects in CPOX are the cause of hereditary coproporphyria (HCP) [MIM:121300]. HCP is an acute hepatic porphyria and an autosomal dominant disease characterized by neuropsychiatric disturbances and skin photosensitivity. Biochemically, there is an overexcretion of coproporphyrin III in the urine and in the feces. HCP is clinically characterized by attacks of abdominal pain, neurological disturbances, and psychiatric symptoms. The symptoms are generally manifested with rapid onset, and can be precipitated by drugs, alcohol, caloric deprivation, infection, endocrine factors or stress. A severe variant form is harderoporphyria, which is characterized by earlier onset attacks, massive excretion of harderoporphyrin in the feces, and a marked decrease of coproporphyrinogen IX oxidase activity.
Similarity:
Belongs to the aerobic coproporphyrinogen-III oxidase family.
