MeSH definition : 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.;
