Identification
Name:Uroporphyrinogen I
DescriptionUroporphyrinogens are porphyrinogen variants in which each pyrrole ring has one acetate side chain and one propionate side chain; it is formed by condensation 4 four molecules of porphobilinogen. 4 isomers are possible but only 2 commoly are found, types and I. Uroporphyrinogen I is a functional intermediate in heme biosynthesis while Uroporphyrinogen is produced in an abortive side reaction.
