Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables identical protein binding activity and phenylalanine 4-monooxygenase activity. Predicted to be involved in L-phenylalanine metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Located in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including ganglia; genitourinary system; gut; liver lobe; and lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in BH4-deficient hyperphenylalaninemia D. Orthologous to human PCBD1 (pterin-4 alpha-carbinolamine dehydratase 1).
