Summary: Enables several functions, including aspartate carbamoyltransferase activity; carbamoyl-phosphate synthase (glutamine-hydrolyzing) activity; and dihydroorotase activity. Involved in several processes, including 'de novo' pyrimidine nucleobase biosynthetic process; UTP biosynthetic process; and alpha-amino acid metabolic process. Located in neuronal cell body and terminal bouton. Part of protein-containing complex. Used to study hepatocellular carcinoma. Biomarker of hepatocellular carcinoma; renal cell carcinoma; and rhabdomyosarcoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 50. Orthologous to human CAD (carbamoyl-phosphate synthetase 2, aspartate transcarbamylase, and dihydroorotase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

We conclude that dihydroorotate dehydrogenase can generate superoxide and/or H2O2 directly at low rates and is also capable of indirect production at higher rates from other sites through its ability to reduce the ubiquinone pool.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
