Mg (II) protoporphyrin IX
Mg (II) protoporphyrin IX is a precursor of chlorophyll in Chlorella. Mg (II) protoporphyrin IX is a negative effector of nuclear photosynthetic gene expression. Mg (II) protoporphyrin IX can be used for the research of signaling molecule implicated in plastid-to-nucleus communication[1][2].
