This gene encodes a member of the GTP cyclohydrolase family.
The encoded protein is the first and rate-limiting enzyme in tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) biosynthesis, catalyzing the conversion of GTP into 7,8-dihydroneopterin triphosphate.
BH4 is an essential cofactor required by aromatic amino acid hydroxylases as well as nitric oxide synthases.
Mutations in this gene are associated with malignant hyperphenylalaninemia and dopa-responsive dystonia.
Several alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described; however, not all variants give rise to a functional enzyme.
