Reaction: ATP + H2O + heme[side 1] = ADP + phosphate + heme[side 2]
Other name(s): heme-transporting ATPase
Systematic name: ATP phosphohydrolase (ABC-type, heme-exporting)
Comments: An ATP-binding cassette (ABC) type transporter, characterized by the presence of two similar ATP-binding domains/proteins and two integral membrane domains/proteins. Does not undergo phosphorylation during the transport process. The enzyme has been described from Gram-negative bacteria and green plants.
