    Product Description

    Ferroprotoporphyrin is an iron-containing cofactor.1,2 It is involved in several biological processes such as the transport or storage of oxygen by hemoglobin or myoglobin, respectively, electron transfer by cytochrome b5, and oxidation of xenobiotics or endogenous substrates by cytochrome P450s (CYPs).

    WARNING This product is not for human or veterinary use.
