Porphyrin biosynthesis is a multistep process that is required for production of porphyrin derivatives such as heme, which is a crucial component of hemoglobin, myoglobin, and the cytochrome cofactors of the electron transport chain. In the first step of this pathway, the enzyme porphobilinogen synthase catalyzes the production of porphobilinogen (PBGN) from two δ-aminolevulinate molecules, as shown in Reaction 1.
