causes lipid peroxidation and formation of other free radicals
What does DMT-1 transport, and what would be the impact of an excess of any of these metals? ANS✔✔ DMT-1
transports iron, zinc, copper, and manganese. Excess can inhibit absorption of the other metals

Where is heme synthesis most pronounced? ANS✔✔ Bone marrow and liver
What does Protoporphyrin IX convert to when heme is added? ANS✔✔ Iron
What natural constituent non-enzymatically oxidizes porphyrinogens into porphyrins and what part of the
porphyrinogen structure is oxidized? ANS✔✔ Porphyrinogens are unstable and light oxidizes them into porphyrins by
oxidizing the four methylene bridges
What enzyme controls the rate limiting step of heme synthesis? ANS✔✔ Delta-aminolevulinic acid synthase (ALA
synthase)
Where is ALA synthase active and what are the substrate and products in the reaction? ANS✔✔ In the mitochondrial
matrix; substrates are succinyl CoA and glycine, product is delta-aminolevulinic acid
