Also known as: ALAS; ALA-S; ALAS-H; ALAS-N
Summary: Enables 5-aminolevulinate synthase activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to insulin stimulus; response to herbicide; and response to nickel cation. Predicted to be located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in mitochondrial matrix. Biomarker of porphyria and pulmonary hypertension. Orthologous to human ALAS1 (5'-aminolevulinate synthase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

REV-ERBalpha has a role in circadian oscillation in the expressions of Alas1, Ppargc1a, and Il6 genes in rat granulosa cells
Title: Integration of the nuclear receptor REV-ERBα linked with circadian oscillators in the expressions of Alas1, Ppargc1a, and Il6 genes in rat granulosa cells.
Pulmonary HO-1 was presumably induced by proinflammatory cytokine(s) in MCT-treated rats, resulting in derepression of heme-repressible ALAS1 expression. HO-1 induction plays significant inflammatory role.(Delta-aminolevulinate synthase)
Title: Increased pulmonary heme oxygenase-1 and delta-aminolevulinate synthase expression in monocrotaline-induced pulmonary hypertension.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
