Guanosine triphosphate (GTP) cyclohydrolase I (GCH1) is the limiting enzyme of the tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) synthesis pathway. The disruption of gch1 gene may cause conditional lethality due to folic acid auxotrophy in microorganisms, although the ...

Vitamin‐Responsive Disorders: From Molecular Basis to Clinical Presentation and Therapy
ABSTRACT Vitamin‐dependent cofactors are essential for numerous metabolic reactions, and defects affecting their uptake, conversion, utilisation, or regeneration constitute a heterogeneous group of inherited metabolic disorders (IMDs). Although dietary vitamin intake is sufficient to sustain coenzyme synthesis in healthy individuals, it is insufficient

Decameric GTP Cyclohydrolase I Forms Complexes with Two Pentameric GTP Cyclohydrolase I Feedback Regulatory Proteins in the Presence of Phenylalanine or of a Combination of Tetrahydrobiopterin and GTP [PDF]
The activity of GTP cyclohydrolase I is inhibited by (6R)-L-erythro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) and stimulated by phenylalanine through complex formation with GTP cyclohydrolase I feedback regulatory protein (GFRP). Gel filtration experiments as well as enzyme activity measurements showed that the number of subunits of GFRP in both the inhibitory

GTP cyclohydrolase I expression, protein, and activity determine intracellular tetrahydrobiopterin levels, independent of GTP cyclohydrolase feedback regulatory protein expression. [PDF]
GTP cyclohydrolase I (GTPCH) is a key enzyme in the synthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4), a required cofactor for nitricoxide synthases and aromatic amino acid hydroxylases.

A Novel Multimodal LC–MS/MS Panel for the Comprehensive Diagnosis of Neurometabolic Disorders in CSF
ABSTRACT Metabolic testing of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is essential for early diagnosis of neurometabolic disorders. However, the large number of differential diagnoses, the phenotypic variance within a clinical picture, and the disease rarity complicate targeted metabolic diagnostics.

GTP cyclohydrolase I utilizes metal-free GTP as its substrate [PDF]
GTP cyclohydrolase I (GCH) is the rate-limiting enzyme for the synthesis of tetrahydrobiopterin and its activity is important in the regulation of monoamine neurotransmitters such as dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin.

Genetic diagnosis of two dopa-responsive dystonia families by exome sequencing. [PDF]
Dopa-responsive dystonia, a rare disorder typically presenting in early childhood with lower limb dystonia and gait abnormality, responds well to levodopa. However, it is often misdiagnosed with the wide spectrum of phenotypes.
