Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 210
Gene name Aminolevulinate dehydratase
Gene symbol ALAD
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
ALADHPBGS
Chromosome 9
Chromosome location 9q32
Summary 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 a
