For the Mouse gene set with the same name, see GOBP_PORPHYRIN_CONTAINING_COMPOUND_METABOLIC_PROCESS

Standard name GOBP_PORPHYRIN_CONTAINING_COMPOUND_METABOLIC_PROCESS
Systematic name M11983
Brief description The chemical reactions and pathways involving any member of a large group of derivatives or analogs of porphyrin. Porphyrins consists of a ring of four pyrrole nuclei linked each to the next at their alpha positions through a methine group. [GOC:jl, ISBN:0198506732, Wikipedia:Porphyrin#Natural_formation]
