  Domain Name: PCD_DCoH_subfamily_b
PCD_DCoH: The bifunctional protein pterin-4alpha-carbinolamine dehydratase (PCD), also known as DCoH (dimerization cofactor of hepatocyte nuclear factor-1), is both a transcription activator and a metabolic enzyme. DCoH stimulates gene expression by associating with specific DNA binding proteins such as HNF-1alpha (hepatocyte nuclear factor-1) and Xenopus enhancer of rudimentary homologue (XERH). DCoH also catalyzes the dehydration of 4alpha- hydroxy- tetrahydrobiopterin (4alpha-OH-BH4) to quinoiddihydrobiopterin, a percursor of the phenylalanine hydroxylase cofactor BH4 (tetrahydrobiopterin). The DCoH homodimer has a saddle-shaped structure similar to that of TBP (TATA binding protein). Two DCoH proteins have been identifed in humans: DCoH1 and DCoH2. Mutations in human DCoH1 cause hyperphenylalaninemia. Loss of enzymic activity of DCoH in humans is associated with the depigmentation disorder vitiligo. DCoH1 has been reported to be overexpessed in colon cancer carcinomas and in malignant melanomas.

Tips:
 If you've navigated here from a protein, hovering over a position on the weblogo will display the corresponding protein position for that domain position.

 The histograms below the weblogo indicate mutations found on the domain. Red is for disease (OMIM) and blue is for SNPs.

 Functional Features are displayed as orange boxes under the histograms. You can choose which features are displayed in the box below.
