Description
Enables porphobilinogen synthase activity and proteasome core complex binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to lead ion; response to herbicide; and response to vitamin B1. Located in extracellular space. Used to study anemia and hemochromatosis. Biomarker of acute kidney failure; hypothyroidism; liver cirrhosis; status epilepticus; and visual epilepsy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in porphyria cutanea tarda and sickle cell anemia. Orthologous to human ALAD (aminolevulinate dehydratase).

3 Proteins

3.1 Protein Function

Catalyzes an early step in the biosynthesis of tetrapyrroles. Binds two molecules of 5-aminolevulinate per subunit, each at a distinct site, and catalyzes their condensation to form porphobilinogen (By similarity).
