Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 3081
Gene name Homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase
Gene symbol HGD
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
AKUHGO
Chromosome 3
Chromosome location 3q13.33
Summary This gene encodes the enzyme homogentisate 1,2 dioxygenase. This enzyme is involved in the catabolism of the amino acids tyrosine and phenylalanine. Mutations in this gene are the cause of the autosomal recessive metabolism disorder alkaptonuria.[provided
