Abstract excerpt
Tetrahydrobiopterin is an essential cofactor for the phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan hydroxylases, and the family of nitric oxide synthases. The initial and rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin is GTP cyclohydrolase I. The proximal promoter of the human GTP cyclohydrolase I gene contains the sequence motif 5'-TGACGCGA-3', resembling a cAMP response element (CRE). The objective of...
