Chemical Information
Nameprotoporphyrin IX
DescriptionProtoporphyrin ix is a member of the class of compounds known as porphyrins. Porphyrins are compounds containing a fundamental skeleton of four pyrrole nuclei united through the alpha-positions by four methine groups to form a macrocyclic structure. Protoporphyrin ix is practically insoluble (in water) and a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Protoporphyrin ix can be found in a number of food items such as hyssop, garden onion (variety), carob, and capers, which makes protoporphyrin ix a potential biomarker for the consumption of these food products.
