AccessionGenProp0223
Name5-aminolevulinate biosynthesis from succinyl-CoA and glycine
TypePATHWAY
DescriptionThis property is an alternative to the biosynthesis of 5-aminolevulinate through the glutamate pathway. 5-aminolevulinate is used in the biosynthesis of uroporphyrinogen III and farther downstream, in the biosynthesis of heme. This enzyme appears restricted to the alpha Proteobacteria and mitochondrial derivatives.
JCVI RoleHeme, porphyrin, and cobalamin
