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.

Effect of experimental phenylketonuria on some organs of pregnant mothers of albino rats and their young’s during perinatal life. [PDF]
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a genetic disorder that is characterized by an inability of the body to utilize the essential amino acid, phenylalanine.It results from a deficiency in phenylalanine hydroxylase, the enzyme catalyzing the conversion of ...

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 ...

PAH mutation spectrum and correlation with PKU manifestation in north Jiangsu province population
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a common autosomal recessive disorder of phenylalanine metabolism and mainly results a deficiency of phenylalanine hydroxylase gene (PAH). The incidence of various PAH mutations have race and ethnicity differences.

BmPAH catalyzes the initial melanin biosynthetic step in Bombyx mori. [PDF]
Pigmentation during insect development is a primal adaptive requirement. In the silkworm, melanin is the primary component of larval pigments. The rate limiting substrate in melanin synthesis is tyrosine, which is converted from phenylalanine by the rate-

Phenylketonuria (PKU): A problem solved?
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a rare metabolic disorder characterized by impaired conversion of phenylalanine (Phe) to tyrosine. If left untreated, the resultant accumulation of excess blood Phe can cause physiological, neurological, and intellectual ...
