About This Section
Entrez Gene summary for ALAS1:
This gene encodes the mitochondrial enzyme which is catalyzes the rate-limiting step in heme (iron-protoporphyrin)
biosynthesis. The enzyme encoded by this gene is the housekeeping enzyme; a separate gene encodes a form of the enzyme
that is specific for erythroid tissue. The level of the mature encoded protein is regulated by heme: high levels of
heme down-regulate the mature enzyme in mitochondria while low heme levels up-regulate. A pseudogene of this gene is
located on chromosome 12. Multiple alternatively spliced variants, encoding the same protein, have been identified.
