malfunction | tetrahydrobiopterin deficiencies are implicated in neuronal disorders. Drosophile melanogastersloss-of-function enzyme mutants are resonsibel for hyposensitivityy to oxidative stress, enzyme activity and tetrahydrobiopterin levels in the mutants are significantly reduced compared to wild-type, while levels of phosphorylated Akt and total Akt protein are increased in the enzyme mutants | Drosophila melanogaster |
metabolism | sepiapterin reductase is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), an essential cofactor for the synthesis of important biogenic amines, including catecholamines and serotonin | Drosophila melanogaster |
physiological function | sepiapterin reductase plays an important role in the Akt pathway | Drosophila melanogaster |
