Uroporphyrinogen III synthase



 
 
Uroporphyrinogen III synthase is an enzyme
Enzyme

Enzymes are biomolecules that catalysis chemical reactions. Almost all enzymes are proteins. In enzymatic reactions, the molecules at the beginning of the process are called Substrate , and the enzyme converts them into different molecules, the products....
 involved in the fourth step of porphyrin
Porphyrin

Porphyrins are a group of chemical compounds of which many occur in nature, such as in green leaves and red blood cells, and in bio-inspired synthetic catalysts and devices....
 metabolism, involved in the conversion of hydroxymethyl bilane into uroporphyrinogen III
Uroporphyrinogen III

In the synthesis of porphyrin, Uroporphyrinogen III is created by the enzyme Uroporphyrinogen III synthase, and the enzyme Uroporphyrinogen III decarboxylase converts it into coproporphyrinogen III....

Pathology

A deficiency is associated with Gunther's disease
Gunther's disease

Gunther disease, or Gunther's disease, is a congenital form of porphyria. It is a rare, autosomal recessive metabolic disorder of heme caused by deficiency of the enzyme uroporphyrinogen cosynthetase....
