General annotation (Comments)

Catalytic activity

Succinyl-CoA + glycine = 5-aminolevulinate + CoA + CO2.

Cofactor

Pyridoxal phosphate.

Pathway

Porphyrin metabolism; protoporphyrin-IX biosynthesis; 5-aminolevulinate from glycine: step 1/1.

Subunit structure

Homodimer.

Subcellular location

Mitochondrion matrix.

Miscellaneous

There are two delta-ALA synthases in vertebrates: an erythroid- specific form and one (housekeeping) which is expressed in all tissues.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the class-II pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.

Sequence caution

The sequence CAA68506.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at several positions.

Alternative products

This entry describes 2 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]
Isoform 1 (identifier: P13196-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Isoform 2 (identifier: P13196-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     95-118: HPLPATSQGTASKCPFLAAQMNQR → FRLDTPCLPQARALQANALSWQHR
     119-640: Missing.
Note: No experimental confirmation available.
