(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7389
Official gene symbolUROD
Full nameuroporphyrinogen decarboxylase
Aliases,PCT,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes an enzyme in the heme biosynthetic pathway. This enzyme is responsible for catalyzing the conversion of uroporphyrinogen to coproporphyrinogen through the removal of four carboxymethyl side chains. Mutations and deficiency in this enzyme are known to cause familial porphyria cutanea tarda and hepatoerythropoetic porphyria.
