EC 1.3.3.15     
Accepted name: coproporphyrinogen III oxidase (coproporphyrin-forming)
Reaction: coproporphyrinogen III + 3 O2 = coproporphyrin III + 3 H2O2
Other name(s): hemY (gene name)
Systematic name: coproporphyrinogen-III:oxygen oxidoreductase (coproporphyrin-forming)
Comments: Contains FAD. The enzyme, present in Gram-positive bacteria, participates in heme biosynthesis. It can also catalyse the reaction of EC 1.3.3.4, protoporphyrinogen oxidase, at a lower level.
