1. Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a peroxisomal flavoprotein that catalyzes the oxidative deamination of D-Aspartate and N-methyl D-Aspartate

2. In biochemistry, flavin Adenine dinucleotide (FAD) is a redox-active coenzyme associated with various proteins, which is involved with several enzymatic reactions in metabolism.A flavoprotein is a protein that contains a flavin group, which may be in the form of FAD or flavin mononucleotide (FMN)
