Disease relevance of hemG

In Escherichia coli, this enzyme is encoded by the hemG gene [1].

High impact information on hemG

The sequence of the insert from this clone, pISI-2, revealed ORFs with sequence similarity to the groES/EL operon of Escherichia coli, the 505 ribosomal proteins L21 and L27 of E. coli, a GTP-binding protein of Bacillus subtilis and a possible protoporphyrinogen oxidase, HemK, of E. coli [2].
