Hepatic phenylalanine hydroxylase activity in hyperphenylalaninaemia

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease, 1981
AbstractPhenylalanine tolerancein vivo has been compared with the phenylalanine hydroxylase activity of liver biopsy specimens in 14 newly detected cases of hyperphenylalaninaemia. Hepatic phenylalanine hydroxylase activity does not predict the degree of dietary restriction that will be required.

Engineering bacterial phenylalanine 4-hydroxylase for microbial synthesis of human neurotransmitter precursor 5-hydroxytryptophan.

ACS Synthetic Biology, 2014
5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) is a drug that is clinically effective against depression, insomnia, obesity, chronic headaches, etc. It is only commercially produced by the extraction from the seeds of Griffonia simplicifolia because of a lack of synthetic ...

Phenylalanine Hydroxylase from Human Kidney

Enzyme, 1975
In this report the presence, and level, of phenylalanine hydroxylase in the cortex of human kidney is established. The average activity found in 15 surgically removed kidneys was 47.2 plus or minus 11.2 mU/g wet weight of tissue. The average value, determined under the same experimental conditions, for two human liver biopsies was 217 mU/g tissue.

Connecting Mutant Phenylalanine Hydroxylase With Phenylketonuria

Journal of Clinical Monitoring and Computing, 2008
The building of a quantitative relationship between genotype and phenotype would be great helpful for better clinical monitoring, diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. As the phenylketonuria is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in the phenylalanine hydroxylase, in this study we build a descriptively quantitative relationship between ...

Enzymatic changes in phenylalanine ammonia-lyase, cinnamic-4-hydroxylase, capsaicin synthase, and peroxidase activities in capsicum under drought stress.

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, 2014
Penylalanine ammonia-lyase (PAL), cinnamic-4-hydroxylase (C4H), capsaicin synthase (CS), and peroxidase (POD) are involved in the capsaicinoid biosynthesis pathway and may be altered in cultivars with different pungency levels.

Phenylalanine hydroxylase in dilute lethal mice

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - General Subjects, 1973
Abstract The steady-state specific activity of hepatic phenylalanine hydroxylase in the 19–20-day-old dilute lethal mouse d 1 / d 1 is 2-fold higher than in its wild-type control D / D . The apparent K m values for phenylalanine and tetrahyfropteridine are identical for mutant and control enzymes.

Inactivation of purified phenylalanine hydroxylase by dithiothreitol

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 1992
Purified rat liver phenylalanine hydroxylase is inactivated in vitro by ascorbate and thiol compounds, dithiothreitol being the most effective inhibitor, with a second order rate constant for the inactivation of 0.066 +/- 0.002 mM-1.min-1 at 20 degrees C and pH 7.2.

A simple radioisotope assay for phenylalanine hydroxylase

Analytical Biochemistry, 1967
Abstract An isotopic assay for phenylalanine hydroxylase activity has been devised. The assay involves incubation of the enzyme with p -tritio- l -phenylalanine followed by the addition of N -iodosuccinimide to iodinate the tyrosine produced. The tritium released by this combination appears as tritiated water and is proportional to the amount of ...

Phenylalanine hydroxylase activity in mammalian cells

Journal of Cellular Physiology, 1969
AbstractSurvey of twelve mouse tissues revealed the presence of appreciable phenylalanine hydroxylase activity in the pancreas and kidney as well as the liver but in no other of the tissues tested. Single cell suspensions of mouse liver were prepared by use of tetraphenylboron.
