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
