Predicted to enable heme binding activity and tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase activity. Predicted to be involved in tryptophan catabolic process to acetyl-CoA. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Gilles de la Tourette syndrome and familial hypertryptophanemia. Is an ortholog of human TDO2 (tryptophan 2,3-dioxygenase).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
