composed of?
What disorder does a Porphyria
defect in heme synthesis
lead to?
, Deficiency in the enzymes of the porphyrin
pathway leads to insufficient production of heme.
Porphyria The principal problem in these deficiencies is the
accumulation of porphyrins, the heme precursors,
which are toxic to tissue in high concentrations.
