function:Mediates tetrahydrobiopterin inhibition of GTP cyclohydrolase 1. This inhibition is reversed by L-phenylalanine.,similarity:Belongs to the GFRP family.,subunit:Homopentamer. Forms a complex with GCH1 where a GCH1 homodecamer is sandwiched by two GFRP homopentamers (By similarity). Interacts with GCH1.,tissue specificity:In epidermis, expressed predominantly in basal undifferentiated keratinocytes and in some but not all melanocytes (at protein level).,
