Protein Alas2

URN urn:agi-llid:212
Connectivity 42
Name Alas2
Description aminolevulinate, delta-, synthase 2
Notes The product of this gene specifies an erythroid-specific mitochondrially located enzyme. The encoded protein catalyzes the first step in the heme biosynthetic pathway. Defects in this gene cause X-linked pyridoxine-responsive sideroblastic anemia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq]
