Description
Predicted to have 5-aminolevulinate synthase activity. Involved in heme biosynthetic process; hemoglobin biosynthetic process; and hemopoiesis. Predicted to localize to mitochondrial inner membrane. Used to study sideroblastic anemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cutaneous porphyria; erythropoietic protoporphyria; hemochromatosis; sideroblastic anemia; and sideroblastic anemia 1. Is expressed in erythroid progenitor cell; hematopoietic system; mesoderm; and pronephric duct. Orthologous to human ALAS2 (5'-aminolevulinate synthase 2).
