Protoporphyrin IX (free acid)
Guanylyl cyclase activator
Protoporphyrin IX free acid, as distinct from its zinc salt (which inhibits heme oxygenase), activates soluble guanylyl cyclase (sGC) by binding directly to the enzyme. A useful reagent in cases where the use of nitric oxide (NO) or nitric oxide donors is undesirable.
