Preferred Label : uroporphyrinogen iii synthetase;
MeSH definition : An enzyme that catalyzes the cyclization of hydroxymethylbilane to yield UROPORPHYRINOGEN
III and water. It is the fourth enzyme in the 8-enzyme biosynthetic pathway of HEME,
and is encoded by UROS gene. Mutations of UROS gene result in CONGENITAL ERYTHROPOIETIC
PORPHYRIA.;
