Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 5498
Gene name Protoporphyrinogen oxidase
Gene symbol PPOX
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
PPOV290MVPVPCO
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1q23.3
Summary This gene encodes the penultimate enzyme of heme biosynthesis, which catalyzes the 6-electron oxidation of protoporphyrinogen IX to form protoporphyrin IX. Mutations in this gene cause variegate porphyria, an autosomal dominant disorder of heme metabolism
