uROD is the fifth enzyme in the human heme biosynthetic pathway and is responsible for the conversion of uroporphyrinogen to coproporphyrinogen through the removal of four carboxymethyl side chains. Mutations and deficiency in this enzyme are responsible for three autosomal disorders in humans: familial porphyria cutanea tarda (f-PCT), sporadic porphyria cutanea tarda (s-PCT) and hepatoerythropoietic porphyria (HEP). Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-367 of human uROD, fused to His-tag at N-terminal expressed in E. coli.
