Applications of BBa_K1587000

Ho1 is used to catalyse the formation of biliverdin (BV) IXα via heme. It is usully used in association with PcyA enabeling the formation phycocyanobilin (PCB), a chromophore of the phytochrome family of photoreceptors, photosynthetic light-harvesting complexes required for circadian clock.
