Evidence that the coproporphyrinogen oxidase activity of rat liver is situated in the intermembrane space of mitochondria.
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Preferential rupture of the outer membrane of mitochondria from rat liver releases coproporphyrinogen oxidase in parallel with components of the intermembrane space. Coproporphyrinogen III enters the mitochondrion through the freely-permeable outer membrane. Either protoporphyrinogen IX or protoporphyrin IX must then cross the inner membrane before haem synthesis can be completed.
