Metabolite Identification
Common NameUroporphyrinogen III
DescriptionUroporphyrinogen III, also known as uro'gen III, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as porphyrins. Porphyrins are compounds containing a fundamental skeleton of four pyrrole nuclei united through the alpha-positions by four methine groups to form a macrocyclic structure. Uroporphyrinogen III exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. In humans, uroporphyrinogen III is involved in the metabolic disorder called the acute intermittent porphyria pathway. Uroporphyrinogen III has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as evening primroses (Oenothera biennis), cloves (Syzygium aromaticum), common thymes (Thymus vulgaris), purple lavers (Porphyra laciniata), and coconuts (Cocos nucifera). This could make uroporphyrinogen III a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Uroporphyrinogen III is a primary metabolite. Primary metabolites are metabolically or physiologically essential metabolites. They are directly involved in an organism’s growth, development or reproduction. Based on a literature review very few articles have been published on Uroporphyrinogen III.

General function:
Involved in uroporphyrinogen-III synthase activity
Specific function:
Catalyzes cyclization of the linear tetrapyrrole, hydroxymethylbilane, to the macrocyclic uroporphyrinogen III, the branch point for the various sub-pathways leading to the wide diversity of porphyrins. Porphyrins act as cofactors for a multitude of enzymes that perform a variety of processes within the cell such as methionine synthesis (vitamin B12) or oxygen transport (heme).
