Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables oxidoreductase activity, acting on CH or CH2 groups. Involved in several processes, including purine nucleobase catabolic process; purine nucleoside catabolic process; and purine nucleoside monophosphate catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within iron-sulfur cluster assembly; lactation; and regulation of epithelial cell differentiation. Located in sarcoplasmic reticulum. Is active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; genitourinary system; intestine; liver; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Lesch-Nyhan syndrome; artery disease (multiple); chronic kidney disease; hyperuricemia; and xanthinuria type I.
