Abstract excerpt
The aromatic amino acid hydroxylase (AAAH) enzyme family includes phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and the tryptophan hydroxylases (TPH1 and TPH2). All four members of the AAAH family require iron, dioxygen and the cofactor (6R)-L-erythro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) to hydroxylate their respective substrates. The AAAHs are involved in severe diseases; whereas polymorphisms and...
