Behavioral Phenotyping of the Pah<sup>enu2</sup> Mouse Model for Phenylketonuria-A Scoping Review and Future Perspectives. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a rare metabolic disorder resulting from a mutation in the gene encoding the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), resulting in very high phenylalanine (Phe) levels in blood and brain. A PKU mutant mouse model was developed via N‐ethyl‐N‐nitrosourea (ENU) mutagenesis, mimicking the high brain Phe content seen in ...
