Comparison between crab hepatopancreas and rat liver uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase

Comparative Biochemistry and Physiology Part B: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, 2002
We characterized Uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (UroD) (E.C. 4.1.1.37) in hepatopancreas of the crab Chasmagnathus granulatus as a first step to establish this enzyme as a possible biomarker for environmental contamination. We performed a comparative study of crab UroD with the enzyme UroD present in Wistar rat liver, which is known as a useful ...

Evidence for two uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase isoenzymes in human erythrocytes

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1987
In animals and plants, uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase catalyzes the stepwise decarboxylations of uroporphyrinogen, the precursor of heme and chlorophyll. To better understand its metabolic roles, we characterized the enzyme purified to electrophoretic homogeneity (about 11,000-fold) from human erythrocytes by a novel uroporphyrin-sepharose affinity ...

Some kinetic properties of human red cell uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Enzymology, 1980
Several kinetic properties of uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (uroporphyrinogen-III carboxy-lyase, EC 4.1.1.37) from human hemoglobin-free hemolysates were studied, using substrates of both isomeric series I and III (uroporphyrinogen, hepta and pentacarboxyl porphyrinogens).

[49] Uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase purification from chicken erythrocytes

1986
Publisher Summary This chapter describes an assay method, an improved method for the purification of uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase from chicken erythrocytes and its properties. Uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase activity is determined by measuring the amounts of hepta-, hexa-, and pentacarboxylic porphyrinogen III and coproporphyrinogen III formed from ...

Purification and properties of uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase from human erythrocytes

1997
Publisher Summary Uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (UROD) is a cytosolic enzyme of the heme biosynthetic pathway. This chapter discusses the purification and properties of uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase from human erythrocytes. Erythrocytes are, therefore, a convenient source from which homogeneous preparations of UROD can be obtained in relatively ...

Porphyria cutanea tarda, or the uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase deficiency diseases

Clinical Biochemistry, 1986
The term "porphyria cutanea tarda" originally described the dermatological manifestations of various chronic porphyrias. Its usage now is usually restricted to disorders associated with a deficiency of uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase (UROD), for which the term "UROD-deficiency" may be more appropriate.
