Erythrocyte porphyrinogen carboxy-lyase activity in porphyria cutanea tarda and certain other human porphyrias

Red cell porphyrinogen carboxy-lyase activity was measured using uroporphyrinogen III as substrate in 18 normal persons, 7 male patients with porphyria cutanea tarda, 3 female patients with erythropoietic protoporphyria and 2 female patients with variegate porphyria. The mean values obtained in norm...

In porphyria cutanea tarda the enzyme activity was the same as in normal subjects considering either substrate disappearance or end product formation. The differences were not significant at the p < 0.05 level. Patients with variegate porphyria also exhibited normal erythrocyte porphyrinogen carboxy-lyase activity. The enzyme activity of erythrocytes from patients with erythropoietic protoporphyria was higher than in normals; mean values for specific activities being 0.204 nmol of uroporphyrinogen disappeared, and 0.071 nmol of coproporphyrinogen formed.
