Tetrapyrroles oxidative cleavage

In the human body CO is formed in the catabolism of heme after cleavage of globin (protein part) under catalysis by heme oxygenase (EC 1.14.99.3) with the help of O2 and NADPH. The a-methylene group of heme is quantitatively oxidized to CO. This is the only endogenous source of CO in the human organism. The green tetrapyrrole biliverdin IXa is formed as further reaction product. [Pg.111]
