General Description
• Hemin derived from porcine is an iron-containing prosthetic group present in some proteins and can be an alternative source of iron within the host that contains a porphyrin ring containing a Fe2+ ion
Applications
• Hemin is a protoporphyrin IX containing a ferric iron (Fe3+) ion with a coordinating chloride ligand
• It is used in cellular protection and controls biological mechanisms
• It can stimulate globulin synthesis
• It can be applied to study bacterial strains and growth conditions in the short-term colony assays and cell transfections
• It is used during the preparation of agar medium for bacteria culture
• This compound has been used in L929 and J774 murine macrophage cells in order to study conjugation, characterization and toxicity of lipophosphoglycan-polyacrylic acid conjugate for vaccination against leishmaniasis
