Name:	Hydroxymethylbilane
Description	Hydroxymethylbilane is a molecule involved in the metabolism of porphyrin. In the third step, it is generated by the enzyme porphobilinogen deaminase , and in the next step the enzyme uroporphyrinogen I synthase converts it into uroporphyrinogen I. -- Wikipedia
