Extra Details:: Hemin is an iron-containing porphyrin. More specifically, it is protoporphyrin IX containing a ferric iron ion (heme B) with a chloride ligand. Used in the management of porphyria attacks, particularly in acute intermittent porphyria. Sometimes distinguished from hematin which has a hydroxide ligand in place of the chloride, however, the terms are sometimes equated. Hematin is considered the "X factor" required for the growth of Haemophilus influenzae.
