HMBS Human Recombinant produced in E.coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 385 amino acids (1-361) and having a molecular mass of 41.9kDa.HMBS is fused to a 24 amino acid His-tag at N-terminus & purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Porphobilinogen deaminase (HMBS) belongs to the hydroxymethylbilane synthase superfamily. HMBS is a cytoplasmic enzyme found in the heme synthesis pathway. HMBS is the 3rd enzyme of the heme biosynthetic pathway and catalyzes the head to tail condensation of 4 porphobilinogen molecules into the linear hydroxymethylbilane. HMBS gene mutations cause errors in pyrrole metabolism which in turn lead to the autosomal dominant disease acute intermittent porphyria.
