    Summary
    This gene encodes an enzyme involved in the second step of histidine catabolism, metabolizing urocanic acid to formiminoglutamic acid. Deficiency of this enzyme results in urocanic aciduria, and is an apparent cause of mental retardation. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

    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.
