Mouse phenylalanine hydroxylase. Homology and divergence from human phenylalanine hydroxylase [PDF]
Biochemical Journal, 1990 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 ...

Erythrocytes as Carriers of Therapeutic Enzymes. [PDF]
, 2020 Therapeutic enzymes are administered for the treatment of a wide variety of diseases. They exert their effects through binding with a high affinity and specificity to disease-causing substrates to catalyze their conversion to a non-noxious product, to ...

BmPAH catalyzes the initial melanin biosynthetic step in Bombyx mori. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2013 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-

PAH mutation spectrum and correlation with PKU manifestation in north Jiangsu province population
Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, 2018 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.

Pretreatment cognitive and neural differences between sapropterin dihydrochloride responders and non-responders with phenylketonuria [PDF]
, 2017 Sapropterin dihydrochloride (BH4) reduces phenylalanine (Phe) levels and improves white matter integrity in a subset of individuals with phenylketonuria (PKU) known as “responders.” Although prior research has identified biochemical and genotypic ...

Molecular analysis of PKU-associated PAH mutations: a fast and simple genotyping test [PDF]
, 2018 : Neonatal screening for phenylketonuria (PKU, OMIM: 261600) was introduced at the end of the 1960s. We developed a rapid and simple molecular test for the most frequent phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH, Gene ID: 5053) mutations.
