phenylalanine hydroxylase

Gene 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, Jul 2025]
