Predicted to enable fumarylacetoacetase activity. Predicted to be involved in L-phenylalanine catabolic process; homogentisate catabolic process; and tyrosine catabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within arginine catabolic process. Used to study liver cirrhosis and tyrosinemia type I. Biomarker of hypertension. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in tyrosinemia type I. Orthologous to human FAH (fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
