Q

Flow of Heme synthesis

A

First step: Condensation- It takes place in mitochondria of Succinyl coA with Glycine w/c catalyzes by ALA synthase to form Amino levulinic acid. This ALA will go out from mitochondria which will go into cytoplasm, by the help of ALA dehydralase which will have multiple transformation/ reaction starting from Porphobilinogen-> hydroxymethylbilane which is catalyzed by Hydroxymethylbilane synthase (PBG deaminase). Then forming uroporphyrinogen III by the help of Uroporphyrinogen III synthase. Then will form COP3 (Coproporphyrinogen III) which will catalyzes by Uroporphyrinogen III decarboxylase, then it will go back to mitochondria to form Protoporphyrinogen III by the COP3 oxidase and eventually form Protoporphyrin IX by Protoporphyrinogen III oxidase.

Last step: In mitochondria, Insertion of Iron w/c will catalyzes by Ferrochelataseto form Heme.
