The protein encoded by this gene is localized to the mitochondrion, where it catalyzes the insertion of the ferrous form of iron into protoporphyrin IX in the heme synthesis pathway. Mutations in this gene are associated with erythropoietic protoporphyria. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 3.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
FECH (Ferrochelatase) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with FECH include Protoporphyria, Erythropoietic, 1 and Keratolytic Winter Erythema. Among its related pathways are Porphyrin and chlorophyll metabolism and Metabolism. Gene Ontology (GO) annotations related to this gene include iron ion binding and 2 iron, 2 sulfur cluster binding.
