Summary: Enables hydrolase activity, acting on carbon-nitrogen (but not peptide) bonds, in cyclic amides. Involved in pyrimidine nucleobase catabolic process. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in body wall musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Ritscher-Schinzel syndrome; dihydropyrimidinase deficiency; and purine-pyrimidine metabolic disorder. Orthologous to several human genes including DPYS (dihydropyrimidinase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
