| Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 18478 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables phenylalanine 4-monooxygenase activity. Predicted to be involved in L-phenylalanine metabolic process and tyrosine biosynthetic process, by oxidation of phenylalanine. Is expressed in alimentary system; liver; and liver lobe. Used to study phenylketonuria. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in intellectual disability and phenylketonuria. Orthologous to human PAH (phenylalanine hydroxylase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for ENU-induced mutations of this gene have altered serum and urine phenylalanine levels and may display reduced body size, microcephaly, microphthalmia, decreased litter size, hypopigmentation, impaired balance/swimming, cognitive deficits, and environmentally-induced seizures.
