Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable 6,7-dihydropteridine reductase activity; adenyl nucleotide binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in L-phenylalanine catabolic process and tetrahydrobiopterin biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; nose; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in BH4-deficient hyperphenylalaninemia C and phenylketonuria. Orthologous to human QDPR (quinoid dihydropteridine reductase).
