Alas1: Proteins and Enzymes

Delta-aminolevulinate synthase (ALAS; EC 2.3.1.37) catalyzes the condensation of glycine with succinyl-CoA to form delta-aminolevulinic acid. This nuclear-encoded mitochondrial enzyme is the first and rate-limiting enzyme in the mammalian heme biosynthetic pathway. There are 2 tissue-specific isozymes: a housekeeping enzyme encoded by the ALAS1 gene and an erythroid tissue-specific enzyme encoded by ALAS2 (MIM 301300).[supplied by OMIM]
