| Target Information | |
|---|---|
| Target Name | ALAD |
| Gene Abbr. | ALAD |
| Gene ID | 210 |
| Full Name | aminolevulinate dehydratase |
| Alias | ALADH, PBGS |
| Species | Human |
| WT Expression Level | 8.56 TPM (TPM = Transcripts per million; any value less than 3 is considered non-expressing) |
| Introduction | The ALAD enzyme is composed of 8 identical subunits and catalyzes the condensation of 2 molecules of delta-aminolevulinate to form porphobilinogen (a precursor of heme, cytochromes and other hemoproteins). ALAD catalyzes the second step in the porphyrin and heme biosynthetic pathway; zinc is essential for enzymatic activity. ALAD enzymatic activity is inhibited by lead and a defect in the ALAD structural gene can cause increased sensitivity to lead poisoning and acute hepatic porphyria. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2015]. |
