MeSH definition : An enzyme of the transferase class that catalyzes condensation of the succinyl group
from succinyl coenzyme A with glycine to form delta-aminolevulinate. It is a pyridoxyal
phosphate protein and the reaction occurs in mitochondria as the first step of the
heme biosynthetic pathway. The enzyme is a key regulatory enzyme in heme biosynthesis.
In liver feedback is inhibited by heme. EC 2.3.1.37.;
