Enzyme Information

Hydroxymethylbilane synthase.
based on mapping to UniProt P06983
4 porphobilinogen + H(2)O = hydroxymethylbilane + 4 NH(3).
-!- The enzyme works by stepwise addition of pyrrolylmethyl groups until a hexapyrrole is present at the active center. -!- The terminal tetrapyrrole is then hydrolyzed to yield the product, leaving a cysteine-bound dipyrrole on which assembly continues. -!- In the presence of a second enzyme, EC 4.2.1.75, which is often called cosynthase, the product is cyclized to form uroporphyrinogen III. -!- If EC 4.2.1.75 is absent, the hydroxymethylbilane cyclizes spontaneously to form uroporphyrinogen I. -!- Formerly EC 4.3.1.8.
