aminolevulinate dehydratase an enzyme involved in the synthesis of heme; abbreviated ALAD. The enzyme is inhibited by lead. In cases of lead poisoning blood levels of the enzyme fall, protoporphyrins and δ-aminolevulinic acid accumulate in the blood. The acid spills over into the urine thus forming the basis of the tests for lead poisoning. Called also porphobilinogen synthase. How to thank TFD for its existence?
