Enables pyridoxal phosphate binding activity. Involved in vitamin B6 metabolic process. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Used to study early-onset vitamin B6-dependent epilepsy 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in early-onset vitamin B6-dependent epilepsy 1. Orthologous to human PLPBP (pyridoxal phosphate binding protein).
SGD Description
Putative non-specific single-domain racemase; based on structural similarity; binds pyridoxal 5'-phosphate; expression of GFP-fusion protein induced in response to the DNA-damaging agent MMS
