    Summary
    Enables dihydropterin deaminase activity and guanine deaminase activity. Involved in dihydropteridine metabolic process; eye pigment biosynthetic process; and guanine metabolic process. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in adult head; embryonic/larval fat body; and organism. Orthologous to human GDA (guanine deaminase).
