Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables D-amino-acid dehydrogenase activity; D-amino-acid oxidase activity; and FAD binding activity. Involved in several processes, including D-alanine catabolic process; dopamine biosynthetic process; and neutrophil-mediated killing of gram-negative bacterium. Acts upstream of or within L-leucine metabolic process. Located in extracellular space and peroxisomal matrix. Is expressed in metanephros; renal cortex; ureter; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in schizophrenia. Orthologous to human DAO (D-amino acid oxidase).
