Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 7389
Gene name Uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase
Gene symbol UROD
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
PCTUPD
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1p34.1
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
