General annotation (Comments)

Function

May positively regulate nitric oxide synthesis in endothelial cells. May be involved in dopamine synthesis By similarity. May modify pain sensitivity and persistence. Ref.3

Catalytic activity

GTP + H2O = formate + 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6-(erythro-1,2,3-trihydroxypropyl)-dihydropteridine triphosphate.

Enzyme regulation

GTP shows a positive allosteric effect, and tetrahydrobiopterin inhibits the enzyme activity. Zinc is required for catalytic activity. Inhibited by Mg2+.

Pathway

Cofactor biosynthesis; 7,8-dihydroneopterin triphosphate biosynthesis; 7,8-dihydroneopterin triphosphate from GTP: step 1/1.

Subunit structure

Toroid-shaped homodecamer, composed of two pentamers of five dimers. Interacts with AHSA1 and GCHFR/GFRP. Ref.4

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm By similarity. Nucleus By similarity.

Induction

By cytokines such as insulin, interferon-gamma, and phytohemagglutinin in adrenal gland, macrophages, and T-cell respectively.

Post-translational modification

Phosphorylated By similarity.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the GTP cyclohydrolase I family.
