Gene information for HMBS (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID3145
Official gene symbolHMBS
Full namehydroxymethylbilane synthase
Aliases,PBG-D,PBGD,PORC,UPS,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the hydroxymethylbilane synthase superfamily. The encoded protein is the third enzyme of the heme biosynthetic pathway and catalyzes the head to tail condensation of four porphobilinogen molecules into the linear hydroxymethylbilane. Mutations in this gene are associated with the autosomal dominant disease acute intermittent porphyria. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.
