Mutations in this gene are associated with erythropoietic protoporphyria. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 3.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]. * **UniProt Summary**: Catalyzes the ferrous insertion into protoporphyrin IX. |Ferrochelatase| |ferrochelatase activity| |protoporphyrinogen IX metabolic process| |2 iron, 2 sulfur cluster binding| |heme biosynthetic process| |ferrous iron binding| |porphyrin-containing compound biosynthetic process| |tetrapyrrole biosynthetic process| |heme metabolic process| |porphyrin-containing compound metabolic process| |pigment biosynthetic process| |tetrapyrrole metabolic process| |pigment metabolic process| |cofactor biosynthetic process| |response to light stimulus| |mitochondrial matrix| |mitochondrial inner membrane| |generation of precursor metabolites and energy| |cofactor metabolic process| |response to radiation| |response to abiotic stimulus| |heterocycle biosynthetic process| |aromatic compound biosynthetic process| |mitochondrion| |organic cyclic compound biosynthetic process| |organonitrogen compound biosynthetic process| |cellular nitrogen compound biosynthetic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp246|UM0011500 10μM R05 exp246]]|-2.17| |[[:results:exp148|SB202190 10μM R03 exp148]]|-2.04| |[[:results:exp245|UM0011500 5μM R05 exp245]]|-1.88| |[[:results:exp149|SB203580 25μM R03 exp149]]|-1.84| |[[:results:exp150|SGC0649 7μM R03 exp150]]|-1.8| |[[:results:exp102|Nifuroxazide 5μM R03 exp102]]|-1.73| |[[:results:exp1|5-Fluorouracil 2μM R00 exp1]]|1.74| |[[:results:exp135|MS023 7μM R03 exp135]]|1.74| |[[:results:exp531|THZ1 0.06μM R08 exp531]]|1.76| |[[:results:exp31|Rifampicin 1μM R00 exp31]]|1.77| |[[:results:exp312|2-Methoxyestradiol 0.55 to 1μM on day4 R07 exp312]]|1.87| |[[:results:exp467|CAY10603 0.55μM R08 exp467]]|1.95| |[[:results:exp515|PU-H71 1μM R08 exp515]]|2| |[[:results:exp436|Dynasore 7μM R08 exp436]]|2.07| |[[:results:exp485|GSK626616 14μM R08 exp485]]|2.13| |[[:results:exp355|Dinaciclib 0.007μM R07 exp355]]|2.18| |[[:results:exp456|Benzoate 20000μM R08 exp456]]|2.25| |[[:results:exp439|QNZ 0.01μM R08 exp439]]|2.29| |[[:results:exp489|Hippuristanol 0.12μM R08 exp489 no dilution day6]]|2.56| |[[:results:exp524|Staurosporine 0.02μM R08 exp524]]|2.58| |[[:results:exp474|CR131-b 0.005μM R08 exp474]]|2.7| |[[:results:exp416|Tubacin 1.6μM R07 exp416]]|2.84| |[[:results:exp488|Hippuristanol 0.12μM R08 exp488]]|2.88| |[[:results:exp450|Artemisinin 50μM R08 exp450]]|6.57| ^Gene^Correlation^ |[[:human genes:a:alas1|ALAS1]]|0.743| |[[:human genes:h:hmbs|HMBS]]|0.528| |[[:human genes:b:bak1|BAK1]]|0.511| |[[:human genes:h:hccs|HCCS]]|0.496| |[[:human genes:m:march5|MARCH5]]|0.496| |[[:human genes:a:alad|ALAD]]|0.45| |[[:human genes:a:apaf1|APAF1]]|0.447| |[[:human genes:d:dohh|DOHH]]|0.44| |[[:human genes:m:mrpl21|MRPL21]]|0.438| |[[:human genes:c:casp9|CASP9]]|0.435| |[[:human genes:p:ppox|PPOX]]|0.433| |[[:human genes:v:vdac2|VDAC2]]|0.433| |[[:human genes:c:cycs|CYCS]]|0.427| |[[:human genes:c:cpox|CPOX]]|0.42| |[[:human genes:c:cept1|CEPT1]]|0.414| |[[:human genes:k:kdsr|KDSR]]|0.413| |[[:human genes:c:coq3|COQ3]]|0.412| |[[:human genes:p:plaa|PLAA]]|0.412| |[[:human genes:t:tufm|TUFM]]|0.411| |[[:human genes:r:romo1|ROMO1]]|0.406| |[[:human genes:s:serf2|SERF2]]|0.404| |[[:human genes:n:nars2|NARS2]]|0.403| |[[:human genes:g:glrx5|GLRX5]]|0.402| Global Fraction of Cell Lines Where Essential: 10/739 ^Tissue^Fraction Of Cell Lines Where Essential^ |1290807.0|0/1| |909776.0|0/1| |bile duct|0/28| |blood|1/28| |bone|0/26| |breast|1/33| |central nervous system|0/56| |cervix|0/4| |colorectal|1/17| |esophagus|0/13| |fibroblast|0/1| |gastric|0/16| |kidney|0/21| |liver|1/20| |lung|0/75| |lymphocyte|0/16| |ovary|0/26| |pancreas|0/24| |peripheral nervous system|1/16| |plasma cell|0/15| |prostate|0/1| |skin|0/24| |soft tissue|0/9| |thyroid|0/2| |upper aerodigestive|0/22| |urinary tract|0/29| |uterus|0/5| == Essentiality in NALM6 == * **Essentiality Rank**: 1605 * **Expression level (log2 read counts)**: 4.84 {{:chemogenomics:nalm6 dist.png?nolink |}}
