| Accession | GenProp0223 |
| Name | 5-aminolevulinate biosynthesis from succinyl-CoA and glycine |
| Type | PATHWAY |
| Description | This 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 Role | Heme, porphyrin, and cobalamin |
| Parent Property | GenProp0255: 5-aminolevulinate biosynthesis
