Descriptor English: Coproporphyrinogens
Descriptor Spanish: Coproporfirinógenos
Descriptor coproporfirinógenos
Scope note: Porfirinógenos intermediarios en la biosíntesis del heme. Presentan cuatro grupos metilo y cuatro cadenas laterales de ácido propiónico unidas a los anillos pirrólicos. Los coproporfirinógenos I y III se forman, en presencia de uroporfirinógeno decarboxilasa, a partir del correspondiente uroporfirinógeno. Pueden dar coproporfirinas por autooxidación o protoporfirinas por dacarboxilación oxidativa.

Scope note: Porphyrinogens which are intermediates in the heme biosynthesis. They have four methyl and four propionic acid side chains attached to the pyrrole rings. Coproporphyrinogens I and III are formed in the presence of uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase from the corresponding uroporphyrinogen. They can yield coproporphyrins by autooxidation or protoporphyrin by oxidative decarboxylation.
