HMBS Gene (Protein Coding)

Hydroxymethylbilane Synthase

GC11P119084
GIFtS:
45
This gene encodes a member of the hydroxymethylbilane synthase superfamily. The encoded protein is the third enzyme of the heme biosynthetic pathway and catalyzes the head to tail condensation of four porphobilinogen molecules into the linear hydroxymethylbilane. Mutations in this gene are associated with the autosomal dominant disease acute intermittent porphyria. Alternativel... See more...

Entrez Gene Summary for HMBS Gene

  • This gene encodes a member of the hydroxymethylbilane synthase superfamily. The encoded protein is the third enzyme of the heme biosynthetic pathway and catalyzes the head to tail condensation of four porphobilinogen molecules into the linear hydroxymethylbilane. Mutations in this gene are associated with the autosomal dominant disease acute intermittent porphyria. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described.

HEM3_HUMAN
  • Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) [MIM:176000]: A form of porphyria. Porphyrias are inherited defects in the biosynthesis of heme, resulting in the accumulation and increased excretion of porphyrins or porphyrin precursors. They are classified as erythropoietic or hepatic, depending on whether the enzyme deficiency occurs in red blood cells or in the liver. AIP is an autosomal dominant form of hepatic porphyria characterized by attacks of gastrointestinal disturbances, abdominal colic, with neurological dysfunctions, hypertension, tachycardia and peripheral neuropathy. Most attacks are precipitated by drugs, alcohol, caloric deprivation, infections, or endocrine factors. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:10453740, ECO:0000269 PubMed:10494093, ECO:0000269 PubMed:10502788, ECO:0000269 PubMed:10602775, ECO:0000269 PubMed:10657149, ECO:0000269 PubMed:10782018, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11013452, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11030413, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11399210, ECO:0000269 PubMed:11857754, ECO:0000269 PubMed:12372055, ECO:0000269 PubMed:12406973, ECO:0000269 PubMed:12773194, ECO:0000269 PubMed:1301948, ECO:0000269 PubMed:1427766, ECO:0000269 PubMed:14669009, ECO:0000269 PubMed:14757946, ECO:0000269 PubMed:1496994, ECO:0000269 PubMed:14970743, ECO:0000269 PubMed:15669678, ECO:0000269 PubMed:16211556, ECO:0000269 PubMed:1714233, ECO:0000269 PubMed:18406650, ECO:0000269 PubMed:19138865, ECO:0000269 PubMed:19292878, ECO:0000269 PubMed:2243128, ECO:0000269 PubMed:23815679, ECO:0000269 PubMed:25703257, ECO:0000269 PubMed:25870942, ECO:0000269 PubMed:7757070, ECO:0000269 PubMed:7962538, ECO:0000269 PubMed:8081367, ECO:0000269 PubMed:8262523, ECO:0000269 PubMed:8268934, ECO:0000269 PubMed:8270254, ECO:0000269 PubMed:8270256, ECO:0000269 PubMed:8401516, ECO:0000269 PubMed:8825929, ECO:0000269 PubMed:9199558, ECO:0000269 PubMed:9225970, ECO:0000269 PubMed:9463797, ECO:0000269 PubMed:9654202, ECO:0000269 Ref.46}.
