Abstract Sepiapterin and its major metabolite 6R‐L‐erythro‐5,6,7,8‐tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) bind to distinct variants of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), which converts excess phenylalanine to tyrosine, thereby stabilizing, enhancing, and prolonging PAH activity.

ABSTRACT Undoubtedly the nutritional management of inborn errors of protein metabolism (IEPM) has improved since the early 1950s, but it is still associated with significant patient burden. The pace of development has not kept up with the increasing demands of the ‘real world’ or development in other areas of medicine. It is essential that research and

ABSTRACT Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a deficiency of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), leading to the accumulation of phenylalanine (Phe) and an increased risk of developmental disorders. Treatment involves a Phe‐restricted diet, amino acid supplements, and for a subset of patients, a tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4 ...

Cognitive and behavioral impairment in mild hyperphenylalaninemia
As elevated phenylalanine (Phe) is detrimental to brain functions, determining a safe upper limit of blood Phe is important for initiation of treatment plans and setting Phe targets in hyperphenlalaninemic patients.
