Summary
Enables porphobilinogen synthase activity. Predicted to be involved in heme biosynthetic process. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; embryonic anal pad; embryonic dorsal epidermis; embryonic/larval midgut primordium; and gut section. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in porphyria cutanea tarda and sickle cell anemia. Orthologous to human ALAD (aminolevulinate dehydratase).
