Identification and characterization of BAHD hydroxycinnamoyltransferases in the fern Neoblechnum brasiliense. [PDF]

Plant J
Significance Statement Nine BAHD acyltransferases have been identified and characterized in the fern Neoblechnum brasiliense transferring hydroxycinnamoyl units onto various alcohol and amine acceptor substrates. Kinetic characterization showed that shikimic and quinic acids for ester formation as well as 3‐hydroxyanthranilic acid and tryptamine for ...

Molecular Analysis of the HGD Gene in 9 Families With Alkaptonuric Ochronosis in Iran and Identification of Two Novel Variants. [PDF]

Mol Genet Genomic Med
There has been a wide range of mutations identified in the HGD gene in alkaptonuric patients. Some HGD mutations are spread worldwide, while others are specific to certain countries. Alkaptonuria has not been extensively studied in Iran; it is likely to be high since consanguineous marriages are common.

Alkaptonuria - Case report [PDF]

Anais Brasileiros de Dermatologia, 2014
Alkaptonuria, also called endogenous ochronosis, is a rare metabolic autosomal recessive disorder. It occurs by complete inhibition of homogentisic acid oxidase enzyme having its deposition in various tissues.

Alkaptonuric ochronosis of the carotid artery

SAGE Open Medical Case Reports, 2020
Alkaptonuria is a rare autosomal-recessive metabolic disorder of tyrosine degradation which results in elevated levels of circulating homogentisic acid. Ochronosis occurs when homogentisic acid polymerizes and deposits in connective tissue.

Detection of novel visible-light region absorbance peaks in the urine after alkalization in patients with alkaptonuria. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
BACKGROUND: Alkaptonuria, caused by a deficiency of homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase, results in the accumulation of homogentisic acid (2,5-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, HGA) in the urine.

Tocopherol and plastoquinone synthesis in spinach chloroplasts subfractions [PDF]

, 1980
Subfractions isolated from intact purified spinach chloroplasts are able to prenylate the aromatic moiety of -tocopherol and plastoquinone-9 precursors. The biosynthesis of -tocopherol and plastoquinone-9 is a compartmentalized process.

Knee osteoarthrosis secondary to ochronosis -clinical case,

Revista Brasileira de Ortopedia, 2014
Alkaptonuria is a rare metabolic disease in which a deficiency of the enzyme homogentisate dioxygenase causes an accumulation of homogentisic acid. Ochronosis consists of excessive deposition of homogentisic acid in the connective tissue and presents as ...
