Aminolevulinate synthase |
| Gene Summary |
Predicted to enable 5-aminolevulinate synthase activity. Involved in chitin-based cuticle development. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial matrix. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Is expressed in Bolwig organ primordium; adult head; embryonic/larval oenocyte; organism; and ring gland. 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, Jul 2025] |
