Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 7390
Gene name Uroporphyrinogen III synthase
Gene symbol UROS
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
MguUROIIIS
Chromosome 10
Chromosome location 10q26.2
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). [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
