Uroporphyrinogen (medicine)


uroporphyrinogen


See: porphyrinogens.

Uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase, an enzyme that participates in haem biosynthesis; it catalyses the decarboxylation of uroporphyrinogen III to produce coproporphyrinogen III; it also acts on uroporphyrinogen I; a deficiency of this enzyme will result in either porphyria cutanea tarda or hepatoerythropoietic porphyria.

Uroporphyrinogen III cosynthase, an enzyme in haem biosynthesis that participates in the formation of uroporphyrinogen III; a deficiency of this protein results in congenital erythropoietic porphyria.
