中文名称

卟啉代谢

通路描述

卟啉是一类具有四个吡咯单元环状骨架的化学化合物。卟啉金属复合物以及一碳环结构较短的柯林酸复合物在生物体内发挥重要作用。它们包括含铁的血红素、含镁的叶绿素、含镍的辅酶 F430 和含钴的辅酶(如维生素 B12 辅酶),如本图所示。
英文描述
Porphyrins are a group of chemical compounds with the backbone ring structure consisting of four linked pyrrole units. Metal complexes of porphyrins, as well as those of corrinoids with the one-carbon shorter ring structure, play important biological roles. They include iron-containing heme, magnesium-containing chlorophyll, nickel-containing coenzyme F430 and cobalt-containing cobamide (such as vitamin B12 coenzyme) as shown in this map.
