Abstract excerpt
The functional consequence of six uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (UROD) gene mutations found in Danish patients with familial porphyria cutanea tarda was investigated. Wild-type UROD and the 6 mutants (3 missense, 1 nonsense and 2 frameshift mutants) were cloned and expressed using the prokaryotic gGEX-6P system, in which the protein is produced in fusion with glutathione S-transferase (GST). Enzymatic activity...
