    Summary
    Enables phenylalanine 4-monooxygenase activity and tryptophan 5-monooxygenase activity. Involved in several processes, including aromatic amino acid metabolic process; collagen and cuticulin-based cuticle development; and determination of adult lifespan. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in hypodermis and tail. Used to study phenylketonuria. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in intellectual disability and phenylketonuria. Orthologous to human PAH (phenylalanine hydroxylase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
