Metabolite Identification
Common NameProtoporphyrinogen IX
DescriptionProtoporphyrinogen IX 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. Protoporphyrinogen IX is a weakly acidic compound (based on its pKa). Protoporphyrinogen IX exists in all living species, ranging from bacteria to humans. In cattle, protoporphyrinogen IX is involved in the metabolic pathway called the porphyrin metabolism pathway. Protoporphyrinogen IX is a potentially toxic compound.
