4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase like

Also known as: 4-HPPD-L, GLOXD1, NEDSWMA, SPG83

The protein is an iron-dependent mitochondrial dioxygenase that catalyzes the conversion of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate to 4-hydroxymandelate in coenzyme Q10 biosynthesis from tyrosine. Biallelic mutations cause autosomal recessive pediatric-onset spastic movement disorder with neurodevelopmental features and brain white matter abnormalities, also known as spastic paraplegia 83. The gene shows low constraint against loss-of-function variants (pLI near 0), consistent with its recessive inheritance pattern.
