Gene information for UROC1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID131669
Official gene symbolUROC1
Full nameurocanase domain containing 1
Aliases,FLJ31300,HMFN0320,MGC135007,MGC135008,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes an enzyme involved in histidine catabolism, metabolizing urocanic acid to formiminoglutamic acid. The gene product is known to protect the skin from ultra violet rays and is contained in human sweat. Deficiency of this gene product in the liver is an apparent cause of mental retardation. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
