Modulation of Human Phenylalanine Hydroxylase by 3-Hydroxyquinolin-2(1H)-One Derivatives [PDF]
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a genetic disease caused by deficient activity of human phenylalanine hydroxylase (hPAH) that, when untreated, can lead to severe psychomotor impairment.

The Pah-R261Q mouse reveals oxidative stress associated with amyloid-like hepatic aggregation of mutant phenylalanine hydroxylase [PDF]
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is caused by autosomal recessive variants in phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) and can lead to neurotoxicity. Here the authors describe a mouse model of PKU based on a mutation in phenylalanine hydroxylase (R261Q) which replicates ...

Phenylalanine hydroxylase mRNA rescues the phenylketonuria phenotype in mice [PDF]
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an inborn error of metabolism caused by a deficiency in functional phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), resulting in accumulation of phenylalanine (Phe) in patients’ blood and organs.

Optical Coherence Tomography to Assess Neurodegeneration in Phenylalanine Hydroxylase Deficiency [PDF]
In phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) deficiency, an easily feasible method to access the progression of neurodegeneration is warranted to contribute to current discussions on treatment indications and targets.

Allosteric regulation of phenylalanine hydroxylase [PDF]
The liver enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase is responsible for conversion of excess phenylalanine in the diet to tyrosine. Phenylalanine hydroxylase is activated by phenylalanine; this activation is inhibited by the physiological reducing substrate tetrahydrobiopterin.

A unique dual activity amino acid hydroxylase in Toxoplasma gondii. [PDF]
The genome of the protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii was found to contain two genes encoding tyrosine hydroxylase; that produces L-DOPA. The encoded enzymes metabolize phenylalanine as well as tyrosine with substrate preference for tyrosine.

Identification of the Allosteric Site for Phenylalanine in Rat Phenylalanine Hydroxylase. [PDF]
Liver phenylalanine hydroxylase (PheH) is an allosteric enzyme that requires activation by phenylalanine for full activity. The location of the allosteric site for phenylalanine has not been established. NMR spectroscopy of the isolated regulatory domain (RDPheH(25-117) is the regulatory domain of PheH lacking residues 1-24) of the rat enzyme in the ...

Detection of IVS4+1G>A mutation in phenylalanine hydroxylase gene in North of Iran using PCR-sequencing [PDF]
Background and aims: Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an autosomal recessive disorder of phenylalanine (Phe) metabolism. Mutations in the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene are the main reason for the incidence of PKU.

Mouse phenylalanine hydroxylase. Homology and divergence from human phenylalanine hydroxylase [PDF]
The laboratory mouse represents an important model for the study of phenylalanine metabolism and the pathochemistry of phenylketonuria, yet mouse phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) has not been extensively studied. We report the cloning and sequencing of a mouse PAH cDNA, the expression of enzymic activity from the mouse PAH cDNA clone and the ...
