Ferrochelatase Function

Ferrochelatase Function is the enzymatic activity classified under heme biosynthesis catalysts that specifically mediates the insertion of ferrous iron into protoporphyrin IX to form heme, distinguishing it from other porphyrin-metabolizing enzymes by its metal ion specificity and terminal role in the heme pathway.
