qdpr-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable 6,7-dihydropteridine reductase activity; NADH binding activity; and NADPH binding activity. Predicted to be involved in L-phenylalanine catabolic process and tetrahydrobiopterin biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Expressed in several structures, including CEP; gonad; hypodermis; serotonergic neurons; and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in BH4-deficient hyperphenylalaninemia C and phenylketonuria. Is an ortholog of human QDPR (quinoid dihydropteridine reductase).
