Interaction Information:

Comment The heme biosynthetic pathway in eukaryotic cells is comprised of eight enzymatic steps; the first and the last three enzymes are located in the mitochondria, while the rest are in the cytoplasm: ALAS (mitochondrial), ALAD, PBGD (porphobilinogen deaminase), Uro-P (uroporphyrinogen) synthase, Uro-P decarboxylase, Cpo (mitochondrial), Proto-P oxidase (mitochondrial), ferrochelatase (mitochondrial).
