Background Information
The heme biosynthetic pathway begins from delta aminolevulinic acid synthase (ALAS) catalyzing the condensation of glycine and succinyl-CoA to delta aminolevulinic acid (ALA) in the mitochondria. ALAS is coded by two genes: ALAS1 and ALAS2 . ALAS1 is ubiquitously expressed in all cells, and the negative feedback is regulated by the heme pool; however, ALAS2 is specifically expressed only in erythroid cells.
