Enigmatic Evolutionary History of Porphobilinogen Deaminase in Eukaryotic Phototrophs
In most eukaryotic phototrophs, the entire heme synthesis is localized to the plastid, and enzymes of cyanobacterial origin dominate the pathway.

A novel 55-basepair deletion of hydroxymethylbilane synthase gene found in a Chinese patient with acute intermittent porphyria and her family: A case report. [PDF]
Rationale: Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is caused by hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS) gene mutation. Patient concerns: A Chinese female patient with very typical AIP symptoms of severe abdominal pain, seizures, hypertension, and tachycardia ...

A simple rapid purification scheme for hydroxymethylbilane synthase from human erythrocytes [PDF]
Hydroxymethylbilane synthase from human erythrocytes was purified 47,000-fold to greater than 95% homogeneity and 7.5% yield by a simple and rapid procedure using heat treatment (80 degrees C, in the presence of proteinase inhibitors, to convert one of two chromatographically separable forms into the other), DEAE-cellulose and Cibacron Blue F3G-A ...

Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP, OMIM 176000) is an autosomal dominant metabolic disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding hydroxymethylbilane synthase (HMBS; EC 4.3.1.8; formely named porphobilinogen deaminase, PBGD), mapped to chromosome 11q23.
