About Dhodh

Primary_assembly 19: 37,558,177-37,591,654 reverse strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026992.1

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 173 orthologues, 1 paralogue and is associated with 12 phenotypes. Biased expression in Adrenal (RPKM 46.5), Thymus (RPKM 4.8) and 9 other tissues.

Summary

Enables FMN binding activity; Dihydroorotate Dehydrogenase activity; and ubiquinone binding activity. Involved in several processes, including 'de novo' pyrimidine nucleobase biosynthetic process; lactation; and response to L-arginine. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane and neuronal cell body. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in postaxial acrofacial dysostosis. Orthologous to human DHODH (Dihydroorotate Dehydrogenase (quinone)).
