Abstract excerpt
Fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) is a metabolic enzyme functioning at the last step of tyrosine catabolism. Deficiency in this enzyme activity is associated with tyrosinemia type I, characterized by hypertyrosinemia, liver dysfunction, renal tubular dysfunction, liver cirrhosis, and hepatic tumors. We isolated from a human gene library a chromosomal gene related to FAH. The human FAH gene is 30 kilobases long...
