HMBS

SYNONYMS
Porphobilinogen deaminase, PBG-D, Hydroxymethylbilane synthase, HMBS, Pre-uroporphyrinogen synthase, HMBS, PBGD, UPS, PORC.

INTRODUCTION
Porphobilinogen deaminase (HMBS) belongs to the hydroxymethylbilane synthase superfamily. HMBS is a cytoplasmic enzyme found in the heme synthesis pathway. HMBS is the 3rd enzyme of the heme biosynthetic pathway and catalyzes the head to tail condensation of 4 porphobilinogen molecules into the linear hydroxymethylbilane. HMBS gene mutations cause errors in pyrrole metabolism which in turn lead to the autosomal dominant disease acute intermittent porphyria.

DESCRIPTION
HMBS Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 385 amino acids (1-361) and having a molecular mass of 41.9kDa.
HMBS is fused to a 24 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
