The ALAD gene encodes the enzyme aminolevulinate dehydratase which is vital for heme biosynthesis. Mutations in the ALAD gene result in ALAD deficiency porphyria, a rare condition causing neurological symptoms and abdominal pain. Correct function of the ALAD gene is essential for preventing the accumulation of toxic precursors in the heme production pathway.
