Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 5.2.0)
Enables L-gulonolactone oxidase activity and flavin adenine dinucleotide binding activity. Involved in L-ascorbic acid biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including cranium; liver; nasal septum; nervous system; and pancreas. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in scurvy. Orthologous to human GULOP (gulonolactone (L-) oxidase, pseudogene).
