IUBMB Comments

This enzyme catalyses the final step in the de novo synthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin from GTP. The enzyme, which is found in higher animals and some fungi and bacteria, produces the erythro form of tetrahydrobiopterin. cf. EC 1.1.1.325, sepiapterin reductase (L-threo-7,8-dihydrobiopterin-forming).

The expected taxonomic range for this enzyme is: Eukaryota, Bacteria

Synonyms
akr1b1, sepiapterin reductase, mdspr, mdspi16 protein, more
