Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables pyridoxamine phosphate oxidase activity. Involved in pyridoxal phosphate metabolic process and pyridoxamine metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within pyridoxal phosphate biosynthetic process. Is active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate oxidase deficiency. Orthologous to human PNPO (pyridoxamine 5'-phosphate oxidase).
