Summary
Predicted to enable dihydroorotate dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in 'de novo' pyrimidine nucleobase biosynthetic process and pyrimidine ribonucleotide biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in membrane and mitochondrion. Predicted to be active in mitochondrial inner membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in postaxial acrofacial dysostosis. Orthologous to human DHODH (dihydroorotate dehydrogenase (quinone)). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]
