Interaction Information:

Comment GTP cyclohydrolase I is the first and rate-limiting enzyme of the BH4 (6R-L-erythro-5,6,7,8-Tetrahydrobiopterin) biosynthetic pathway. It catalyzes the conversion of GTP into dihydroneopterin triphosphate, the first step of BH4 biosynthesis. Changes in GCH1 activity correlate with changes in BH4 levels. (cited information)
