daao-1 encodes a D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO); recombinant DAOO-1 has DAAO activity on neutral and basic D-amino acid substrates (e.g., D-alanine or D-methionine, and D-arginine), with highest catalytic efficiency on D-arginine; since the C-terminal residues of DAAO-1 match the PTS1 consensus sequence, DAAO-1 is predicted to be peroxisomal.
Enables D-amino-acid oxidase activity. Involved in obsolete oxidation-reduction process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Expressed in intestinal cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in schizophrenia. Is an ortholog of human DDO (D-aspartate oxidase).
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.
