Regulation & Factors of Heme Synthesis

Regulation & Factors of Heme Synthesis


REGULATION & FACTORS OF HEME SYNTHESIS

  • ALA synthase is the key regulatory enzyme in hepatic biosynthesis of Heme.
  • ALA synthase occurs in hepatic and erythrocytes.

Factors That Heme Synthesis-

  • Drugs- Barbiturates, Griseofulvin.
  • Lead– inhibits catalyzed by ALA dehydratase and ferrochelatase.
  • INH– decreases PLP.
  • Intracellular buffer due to histidine residue.The NH2 group on intermediate histidine residues.
