Function
This gene encodes pterin-4 alpha-carbinolamine dehydratase, an enzyme involved in phenylalanine hydroxylation. The enzyme regulates the homodimerization of the transcription factor hepatocyte nuclear factor 1 (HNF1).[6]
Clinical significance
Mutations of the PCBD1 gene cause pterin-4 alpha-carbinolamine dehydratase deficiency, one of the forms of tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency.[7]
Interactions
PCBD1 has been shown to interact with DYRK1B[8] and HNF1A.[9][10]
