Uroporphyrinogens are
cyclic tetrapyrroles with four
propionic acid
groups ("P" groups) and four
acetic acid
groups ("A" groups).
There are four forms...

Uroporphyrinogen III
decarboxylase (
uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase, or UROD) is an
enzyme (EC 4.1.1.37) that in
humans is
encoded by the UROD gene. Uroporphyrinogen...
