Predicted to enable anion binding activity; aspartate carbamoyltransferase activity; and hydrolase activity, acting on carbon-nitrogen (but not peptide) bonds. Predicted to be involved in 'de novo' pyrimidine nucleobase biosynthetic process and amino acid metabolic process. Is an ortholog of C. elegans
pyr-1. In C. elegans,
pyr-1 is involved in several processes, including pharyngeal gland morphogenesis; pharynx development; and pyrimidine nucleobase biosynthetic process.
