Synthetic peptide corresponding to the N-terminal region of human ALAS2
ALAS2 specifies an erythroid-specific mitochondrially located enzyme. The protein catalyzes the first step in the heme biosynthetic pathway. Defects in its gene cause X-linked pyridoxine-responsive sideroblastic anemia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.The product of this gene specifies an erythroid-specific mitochondrially located enzyme.
