Cytosolic pterin-4-alpha-carbinolamine dehydratase (PCDB1) catalyzes the reaction of 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin to form q-dihydrobiopterin and water (Hauer et al. 1993. The active enzyme is a homotetramer (Ficner et al. 1995); mutations in the PCDB1 gene are associated with mild hyperphenylalanemia in vivo (Citron et al. 1993).
