NameUroporphyrinogen III
SpeciesSaccharomyces cerevisiae
StrainBaker's yeast
DescriptionUroporphyrinogen-III is the final product in tetrapyrrole biosynthesis pathway which starts with the formation of 5-aminolevulinic acid from glycine and succinyl CoA by the enzyme ALA synthase. Uroporphyrinogen-III is a major branch point that leads to biosynthesis of different tetrapyrrole compounds (e.g. porphyrins). Tetrapyrroles usually function as a metal-binding cofactor in many important enzymes, proteins and pigments, such as heme, chlorophyll, cobalamine, siroheme, and cofator F430. [Biocyc PWY-5189]
