Summary
Predicted to enable arylformamidase activity. Acts upstream of or within tryptophan catabolic process to kynurenine. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in genitourinary system; gut; nervous system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human AFMID (arylformamidase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
