In two patients with protoporphyria the enzymatic synthesis of aminolevulinic acid and prophobilinogen in erythroid tissue was normal. Boine marrow ferrochelatase activity was less than one-fourth of the mean activity in normal control subjects. Ferrochelatase activity in peripheral blood reticulocytes was less than 10% of controls. This metabolic abnormality provides one biochemical explanation for the increased concentrations of blood protoporphyrin in protoporphyria and clarifies the apparent minimally impaired hemoglobin synthesis in the two case studies.
