Biological Activity

[Description]:

Zinc Protoporphyrin (Zn(II)-protoporphyrin IX) is a competitive heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) inhibitor, markedly attenuates the protective effects of Phloroglucinol (PG) against H2O2[1]. Zinc Protoporphyrin is a normal metabolite formed in trace amounts during heme biosynthesis and used as a screening marker of iron deficiency in individual pregnant women and children, but also to assess population iron status in combination with haemoglobin concentration[2].
