PPOX - protoporphyrinogen oxidase Gene

Homo sapiens

Also known as VP; PPO; V290M

Gene ID: 5498 | Gene type: protein coding

About PPOX

Cytogenetic location: 1q23.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 1:161,165,728-161,178,013 (from NCBI)

This gene has 27 transcripts (splice variants), 202 orthologues, 7 paralogues and is associated with 2 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in bone marrow (RPKM 6.3), skin (RPKM 3.4) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes the penultimate Enzyme of heme biosynthesis, which catalyzes the 6-electron oxidation of protoporphyrinogen IX to form protoporphyrin IX. Mutations in this gene cause variegate porphyria, an autosomal dominant disorder of heme metabolism resulting from a deficiency in protoporphyrinogen oxidase, an Enzyme located on the inner mitochondrial membrane. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
