Abstract excerpt
Defects in the enzyme porphobilinogen deaminase (PBG-D) are associated with acute intermittent porphyria (AIP). Human PBG-D is transcribed into a housekeeping or an erythroid form as a result of differential promoter usage and splicing. In addition, three pairs of isoallelic forms have been described. However, whether the enzymatic properties of housekeeping and erythroid forms differ is unknown. In this study...
