    Also known as
    ARABIDOPSIS THALIANA GTP CYCLOHYDROLASE II; Arabidopsis thaliana riboflavin A1; ATGCH; ATRIBA1; GTP cyclohydrolase II; GTP CYCLOHYDROLASE II; RED FLUORESCENT IN DARKNESS 1; RFD1; RIBA1; riboflavin A1
    Summary
    encodes GTP cyclohydrolase II that can functionally complement E. coli mutant deficient in this gene. It also has 3,4-dihydroxy-2-butanone-4-phosphate synthase activity which makes it a bifunctional enzyme involved in the formation of the pyrimidine and of the carbohydrate from GTP and ribulose-5-phosphate, respectively
