Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Predicted to enable 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase activity; iron ion binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in tyrosine catabolic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in Golgi membrane and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in alimentary system; liver; musculature; and respiratory system. Used to study tyrosinemia type III. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hawkinsinuria and tyrosinemia type III. Orthologous to human HPD (4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase).
