5-aminolevulinate synthase

Gene Summary

Enables 5-aminolevulinate synthase activity. Involved in heme biosynthetic process and positive regulation of organelle assembly. Located in mitochondrial matrix. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cutaneous porphyria; erythropoietic protoporphyria; hemochromatosis; sideroblastic anemia; and sideroblastic anemia 1. Orthologous to human ALAS1 (5'-aminolevulinate synthase 1) and ALAS2 (5'-aminolevulinate synthase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
