    Glossary Aminolevulinic Acid

    naturally occurring compound crucial for heme biosynthesis

    Aminolevulinic Acid (ALA or 5-ALA) is a naturally occurring compound in the body that plays a crucial role in the biosynthesis of heme, an essential component of hemoglobin. It is also used in medical treatments, such as photodynamic therapy, where it helps to make certain cells more sensitive to light, aiding in the treatment of conditions like actinic keratosis and some types of cancer.
