In addition to the heme b found in hemoglobin, there are three different forms of heme found in
cytochromes such as those involved in the process of oxidative phosphorylation.
Cytochromes of the c type contain a modified iron protoporphyrin IX known as heme c. In heme c
the 2 vinyl (C=C) side chains are covalently bonded to cysteine sulfhydryl residues of the apoprotein. Only cytochromes of the c type
contain covalently bound heme. Heme a is also a modified iron protoporphyrin IX. Heme a is found
in cytochromes of the a type and in the chlorophyll of green plants

The sythesis of heme is a complex process that involves multiple enzymatic steps. The process begins in the mitochondrion with the condensation of succinyl-CoA and glycine to form 5-aminolevulinic acid. A series of steps in the cytoplasm produce coproporphrynogen III, which re-enters the mitochondrion. The final enzymatic steps produce heme.
