C31H2.4 encodes a possible 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase, orthologous to human HPDL/GLOXD1, and paralogous to HPD-1 and human HPD (OMIM:609695, mutated in tyrosinemia type III); C31H2.4 has no obvious function in mass RNAi experiments.
Predicted to enable 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase activity. Predicted to be involved in tyrosine catabolic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi membrane and endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
