Biological Properties
General Function Involved in 4-alpha-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin dehydratase activity
Specific Function Involved in tetrahydrobiopterin biosynthesis. Seems to both prevent the formation of 7-pterins and accelerate the formation of quinonoid-BH2. Coactivator for HNF1A-dependent transcription. Regulates the dimerization of homeodomain protein HNF1A and enhances its transcriptional activity.
