Other Information

**Key characteristics:** * The ALAD gene is located on chromosome 15q26.1. * It is a single-exon gene with a predicted protein length of 150 amino acids. * ALAD is a highly expressed gene in various cell types, including anterior lens cell, lens epithelial cell, erythroid progenitor cell, proerythroblast, acinar cell of salivary gland, pulmonary interstitial fibroblast, placental villous trophoblast, primitive red blood cell, kidney proximal straight tubule epithelial cell, and cerebral cortex GABAergic interneuron. **Pathways and functions:** * ALAD is involved in the catalytic activity of the enzyme hemin, which is essential for the synthesis of hemoglobin. * It is part of the heme biosynthesis process, which is a complex pathway that involves the formation of various heme-containing compounds, including protoporphyrinogen. * ALAD is also involved in the response to hypoxia and oxidative stress, where it helps to regulate the production of hemin and other oxygen-dependent molecules. **Clinical significance:** * Mutations in the ALAD gene have been linked to several human diseases, including albinism, which is caused by a deficiency of functional hemin. * ALAD inhibitors are being investigated as potential therapeutic agents for these diseases.
