Abstract excerpt
The PPOX gene encodes for the protoporphyrinogen oxidase, which is involved in heme production. The partial deficiency of protoporphyrinogen oxidase causes variegate porphyria. The tissue-specific regulation of other heme biosynthetic enzymes is extensively studied, but the information concerning transcriptional and post-transcriptional regulation of PPOX gene expression is scarcely available. In this study, we...
