Gene: UROD

Alternate names for this Gene: PCT|UPD

Gene Summary: This 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1p34.1

Description of this Gene: uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase

Type of Gene: protein-coding
