Description

uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase

Gene Summary

Enables ferrous iron binding activity and uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase activity. Involved in several processes, including response to estradiol; response to fungicide; and uroporphyrinogen III metabolic process. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Biomarker of porphyria and porphyria cutanea tarda. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in porphyria cutanea tarda. Orthologous to human UROD (uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]
