| HEM4 | Uroporphyrinogen III synthase; catalyzes the conversion of hydroxymethylbilane to uroporphyrinogen III, the fourth step in heme biosynthesis; deficiency in the human homolog can result in the disease congenital erythropoietic porphyria. (275 aa) | ||||
| HEM3 | Porphobilinogen deaminase; catalyzes the conversion of 4-porphobilinogen to hydroxymethylbilane, the third step in heme biosynthesis; localizes to the cytoplasm and nucleus; expression is regulated by Hap2p-Hap3p, but not by levels of heme; human homolog HMBS can complement yeast mutant and allow growth of haploid null after sporulation of a heterozygous diploid. (327 aa) | ||||
| HEM12 | Uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase; catalyzes the fifth step in the heme biosynthetic pathway; localizes to both the cytoplasm and nucleus; a hem12 mutant has phenotypes similar to patients with porphyria cutanea tarda. (362 aa) | ||||
