Dpys - dihydropyrimidinase

Enables several functions, including dihydropyrimidinase activity; pyrimidine nucleobase binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Involved in beta-alanine metabolic process; thymine catabolic process; and uracil catabolic process. Located in cytosol. Part of protein-containing complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dihydropyrimidinase deficiency and purine-pyrimidine metabolic disorder. Orthologous to human DPYS (dihydropyrimidinase).
