Metabolite Identification
Common NameUroporphyrinogen I
DescriptionUroporphyrinogen I, also known as uro'gen I, 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 I exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to plants to humans. In humans, uroporphyrinogen I is involved in the metabolic disorder called the acute intermittent porphyria pathway. Uroporphyrinogen I has been detected, but not quantified in, several different foods, such as tindas (Citrullus lanatus var. fistulosus), chickens (Gallus gallus), common buckwheats (Fagopyrum esculentum), mexican groundcherries (Physalis philadelphica var. immaculata), and cherimoyas (Annona cherimola). This could make uroporphyrinogen I a potential biomarker for the consumption of these foods. Uroporphyrinogen I 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 a significant number of articles have been published on Uroporphyrinogen I.

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).
