单词 | protoporphyria |
释义 | protoporphyrian. Medicine. A disorder of porphyrin metabolism in which there is excessive accumulation of protoporphyrin in the body; spec. (more fully erythropoietic protoporphyria) an inherited (autosomal dominant) disorder in which reduced activity of the mitochondrial enzyme ferrochelatase causes accumulation of protoporphyrin IX in erythrocytes, hepatocytes, and serum, leading to photosensitivity of the skin and, often, liver disease.

Chem. 262 667 The ferrochelatase defect in bovine protoporphyria probably results from a point gene mutation that causes a minor change in enzyme structure. 2005 Blood 106 1098 Mutations resulting in diminished activity of the dimeric enzyme ferrochelatase are a prerequisite for the inherited disorder erythropoietic protoporphyria.
