Qdpr Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable 6,7-dihydropteridine reductase activity; adenyl nucleotide binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in L-phenylalanine catabolic process and tetrahydrobiopterin biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; nose; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in BH4-deficient hyperphenylalaninemia C and phenylketonuria. Orthologous to human QDPR (quinoid dihydropteridine reductase).

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 Qdpr often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
