Description

Protoporphyrin IX is a fluorescent molecule that has been used for diagnosis and treatment of cancers, especially T-cell lymphomas. Protoporphyrin IX is being studied for its potential use as a photosensitizer in photodynamic therapy. The fluorescence emission spectrum of protoporphyrin IX overlaps with the absorption spectrum of hemoglobin, which enables it to be used in diagnosis of diseases such as sickle cell anemia. Protoporphyrin IX also binds to DNA and regulates gene expression. It is involved in mitochondrial functions, energy metabolism, and biochemical research. Protoporphyrin IX has been shown to bind to response elements and activate transcription of genes which are regulated by the proto-oncogene promoter. This molecule's thermodynamic data has been extensively researched and it is currently being evaluated for use in laser ablation technology for cancer treatments.
