Gene: UROS

Alternate names for this Gene: UROIIIS

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the fourth step of porphyrin biosynthesis in the heme biosynthetic pathway. Defects in this gene cause congenital erythropoietic porphyria (Gunther's disease).

Gene is located in Chromosome: 10

Location in Chromosome : 10q26.2

Description of this Gene: uroporphyrinogen III synthase

Type of Gene: protein-coding
