Summary
Enables ferrous iron binding activity and uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase activity. Involved in several processes, including response to estradiol; response to fungicide; and uroporphyrinogen III metabolic process. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Biomarker of porphyria and porphyria cutanea tarda. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in porphyria cutanea tarda. Orthologous to human UROD (uroporphyrinogen decarboxylase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
