Haao Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables 3-hydroxyanthranilate 3,4-dioxygenase activity. Involved in L-tryptophan catabolic process and dicarboxylic acid metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within 'de novo' NAD biosynthetic process from L-tryptophan. Is active in cytosol. Is expressed in ductus deferens; epididymis; esophagus; metanephros; and testis. Orthologous to human HAAO (3-hydroxyanthranilate 3,4-dioxygenase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2025]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Haao often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
