Zinc Protoporphyrin

Overview

Zinc Protoporphyrin (Zn(II)-protoporphyrin IX) is an orally active and competitive heme oxygenase-1 ( HO-1 ) inhibitor. Zinc Protoporphyrin regulates expression of HO-1 at the transcriptional level. The effect of Zinc Protoporphyrin on HO-1 expression is controversial. It was shown to induce HO-1 expression in some cells, but suppress it in others . Zinc Protoporphyrin is used as a screening marker of iron deficiency in vivo . Zinc Protoporphyrin has anti-cancer activity.
