    Summary
    Enables several functions, including identical protein binding activity; iron ion binding activity; and phenylalanine 4-monooxygenase activity. Involved in L-phenylalanine metabolic process; protein hydroxylation; and tyrosine biosynthetic process, by oxidation of phenylalanine. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in intellectual disability and phenylketonuria. Orthologous to human PAH (phenylalanine hydroxylase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
