Erythropoietic Protoporphyria

Information about Erythropoietic Protoporphyria: characteristics, related genes and pathways, plus antibodies you can use for research. This page is being enriched constantly, if you see some information you would like this page to include please send your suggestions to us.

Overview of Erythropoietic Protoporphyria

Most recent studies have shown that Erythropoietic Protoporphyria shares some biological mechanisms with acute-intermittent-porphyria, anemia, depressive-disorder, dermatologic-disorders, disorders-of-porphyrin-metabolism, hepatoerythropoietic-porphyria, liver-cirrhosis, liver-diseases, liver-failure, malignant-neoplasms, malignant-paraganglionic-neoplasm, malignant-pleural-mesothelioma, mesothelioma, neoplasms, photosensitivity-disorders, pleural-mesothelioma, pleural-neoplasms, porphyria-cutanea-tarda, porphyria-erythropoietic, variegate-porphyria.

Among the many pathways, these few ones have gauged particular interests from scientists studying Erythropoietic Protoporphyria, and have been seen in publications frequently: Aging, Cell Proliferation, Endocytosis, Excretion, Exocytosis, Fertilization, Hypersensitivity, Innervation, Localization, Mating, Muscle Contraction, Pathogenesis, Photoprotection, Pigmentation, Proprioception, Regeneration, Secretion, Synaptic Transmission, Translation, Transport

Quite a number of genes have been found to play important roles in Erythropoietic Protoporphyria, such as ACHE, ALAD, ALAS2, ALB, CAT, CPOX, DSP, EPX, FECH, HMBS, POMT1, PPA1, PPOX, PPY, PTGDR, QPCT, TF, TNFSF14, UROD.

In a later update, we will include information such as current drugs and therapy solutions as well as on-going and past clinical trials for this disease. Plesae stay updated.
