Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** GCHFR is a protein that binds to GTP cyclohydrolase I, an enzyme involved in the synthesis of BH4, a cofactor required for NOS enzyme activity. The GCHFR protein acts as a negative regulator of the BH4 synthesis pathway, thereby modulating the activity of NOS enzymes. This regulatory mechanism is critical for maintaining immune homeostasis and preventing excessive NOS enzyme activity, which can lead to oxidative stress and tissue damage. **Pathways and Functions:** GCHFR is involved in several key pathways, including: 1. **BH4 synthesis**: GCHFR regulates the synthesis of BH4, a cofactor required for NOS enzyme activity. BH4 is essential for the production of nitric oxide (NO), a key molecule involved in immune responses and vascular function. 2. **Nitric oxide biosynthetic process**: GCHFR modulates the activity of NOS enzymes, which are responsible for NO production. This regulatory mechanism is critical for maintaining immune homeostasis and preventing excessive NO production, which can lead to oxidative stress and tissue damage. 3. **Metabolism of cofactors**: GCHFR is involved in the regulation of the BH4 synthesis pathway, which is essential for maintaining the proper functioning of NOS enzymes. 4. **Regulation of nitric oxide biosynthetic process**: GCHFR modulates the activity of NOS enzymes, which are responsible for NO production. This regulatory mechanism is critical for maintaining immune homeostasis and preventing excessive NO production, which can lead to oxidative stress and tissue damage. **Significantly Expressed Cells:** GCHFR is significantly expressed in various cell types, including: 1. **Elicited macrophage**: GCHFR is expressed in elicited macrophages, which are involved in immune responses and the production of NO. 2. **Alveolar macrophage**: GCHFR is expressed in alveolar macrophages, which are involved in the regulation of immune responses in the lungs. 3. **Pancreatic A cell**: GCHFR is expressed in pancreatic A cells, which are involved in glucose regulation and insulin production. 4. **Enterocyte of colon**: GCHFR is expressed in enterocytes of the colon, which are involved in the regulation of immune responses and the maintenance of gut homeostasis. **Clinical Significance:** GCHFR is involved in several clinical conditions, including: 1. **Immunodeficiency disorders**: GCHFR mutations have been associated with immunodeficiency disorders, including severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) and chronic granulomatous disease (CGD). 2. **Malignancies**: GCHFR mutations have been associated with an increased risk of malignancies, including leukemia and lymphoma. 3. **Metabolic disorders**: GCHFR is involved in the regulation of BH4 synthesis, which is essential for maintaining proper NOS enzyme activity. Mutations in GCHFR have been associated with metabolic disorders, including hypertension and cardiovascular disease. In conclusion, GCHFR is a gene that plays a critical role in the regulation of immune responses and metabolic homeostasis. Its dysregulation has been associated with several clinical conditions, including immunodeficiency disorders, malignancies, and metabolic disorders. Further research is needed to fully understand the complex mechanisms by which GCHFR regulates immune responses and metabolic homeostasis.
