Description
Predicted to enable GTP binding activity; GTP cyclohydrolase I activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in tetrahydrobiopterin biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within tetrahydrofolate biosynthetic process. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in brain; dopaminergic neurons; trunk; and xanthophore. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in BH4-deficient hyperphenylalaninemia B; bipolar disorder; dystonia; and dystonia 5. Orthologous to human GCH1 (GTP cyclohydrolase 1).
