Descriptor English: Hydroxymethylbilane Synthase
Descriptor Spanish: Hidroximetilbilano Sintasa
Descriptor hidroximetilbilano sintasa
Entry term(s) porfobilinógeno amoniacoliasa
porfobilinógeno desaminasa
uroporfirinógeno I sintasa
Scope note: Enzima que cataliza la tetrapolimerización del PORFOBILINÓGENO monopirrólico a hidroximetilbilano, un precursor del uroporfirinógeno (UROPORFIRINÓGENOS), en varios pasos concretos. Es la tercera enzima de la vía biosintética de 8 enzimas del HEME. En humanos, la deficiencia de esta enzima codificada por el gen HMBS (o PBGD) da lugar a un tipo de porfiria neurológica (PORFIRIA AGUDA INTERMITENTE). Esta enzima fue clasificada anteriormente como EC 4.3.1.8.

Tree number(s): D08.811.913.225.575
RDF Unique Identifier: https://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D011163
Scope note: An enzyme that catalyzes the tetrapolymerization of the monopyrrole PORPHOBILINOGEN into the hydroxymethylbilane preuroporphyrinogen (UROPORPHYRINOGENS) in several discrete steps. It is the third enzyme in the 8-enzyme biosynthetic pathway of HEME. In humans, deficiency in this enzyme encoded by HMBS (or PBGD) gene results in a form of neurological porphyria (PORPHYRIA, ACUTE INTERMITTENT). This enzyme was formerly listed as EC 4.3.1.8
