| Function | Involved in the heme biosynthesis. Catalyzes the aerobic oxidative decarboxylation of propionate groups of rings A and B of coproporphyrinogen-III to yield the vinyl groups in protoporphyrinogen-IX. |
| Subcellular Location | Mitochondrion intermembrane space. |
| Top Pathways | Porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism |
