Porphyrin And Chlorophyll Metabolism Service

v-innovate Technologies is a pioneer in metabolic analysis service and provides reliable, professional and cost-effective porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism analysis service in animal. We leverage our rich experience, professional expertise, and advanced technologies to speed up your scientific purposes of porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism analysis in animal.

Overview

Porphyrin is a class of macrocyclic aromatic compound comprised of four pyrrole rings connected by methine bridges. Porphyrin is ubiquitous in nature and functions as a heme cofactor of hemoglobin, cytochromes and other redox active enzymes. In animals, the committed step for porphyrin biosynthesis is the formation of 5-aminolevulinic acid via the reaction of the amino acid glycine with succinyl-CoA from the citric acid cycle. As the precursors of heme, the overproduction of porphyrins is closely associated with the pathology of porphyrias. In contrast, chlorophyll is vital for photosynthesis, allowing plants to absorb energy from light. The majority of anima cells do not contain chlorophyll. Pheophytins and pheophorbides are the main products detected in the liver following chlorophyll intake in animals, indicating that chlorophyll could be beneficial for animal's health. In addition, metallo-chlorophyll derivatives have been reported to be involved in modulation of oxidative stress, xenobiotic metabolism and gene expression. Therefore, the insight into porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism contribute to know the pathology of certain human diseases. Scientists at v-innovate Technologies take advantage of highly quantitative methods with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for the determination of porphyrin and chlorophyll  metabolism related metabolites levels in various samples. Furthermore, we provide reliable, rapid and cost-effective porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism related service to speed up your research aims ranging from diseases diagnosis to gaining new insights in disease mechanism or treatment.
