GENE INFORMATION
Gene name	ALAS2 (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms	ASB
Description	5'-aminolevulinate synthase 2 (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary	The product of this gene specifies an erythroid-specific mitochondrially located enzyme. The encoded protein catalyzes the first step in the heme biosynthetic pathway. Defects in this gene cause X-linked pyridoxine-responsive sideroblastic anemia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified.
