A key role for tetrahydrobiopterin‐dependent endothelial NOS regulation in resistance arteries: studies in endothelial cell tetrahydrobiopterin‐deficient mice

open access: yesBritish Journal of Pharmacology, 2017
The cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is a critical regulator of endothelial NOS (eNOS) function, eNOS‐derived NO and ROS signalling in vascular physiology.

Progress and Application of Multifunctional Hydrogel in Radioactive Skin Injury

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Interfaces, Volume 12, Issue 11, June 9, 2025.
This review examines healing challenges in radiation‐wound injuries, where ionizing radiation impairs immune and tissue repair processes. Hydrogels, with their biocompatibility, antimicrobial properties, and drug delivery capabilities, present a transformative solution. It compares hydrogel efficacy in radiation‐induced versus common wounds, highlights

Investigation of a potential role for aldose reductase AlrA in tetrahydropteridine synthesis in Dictyostelium discoideum Ax2

open access: yesPteridines, 2017
Dictyostelium discoideum Ax2 is well-known for the synthesis of d-threo-tetrahydrobiopterin (DH4) with a smaller amount of l-erythro-tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4).

Intestinal microbiota as a tetrahydrobiopterin exogenous source in hph-1 mice

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2017
Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is a cofactor of a number of regulatory enzymes. Although there are no known BH4 exogenous sources, the tissue content of this biopterin increases with age in GTP cyclohydrolase 1-deficient hyperphenylalaninemia-1 (hph-1) mice ...

Decreased homovanillic acid and 5‐hydroxyindoleacetic acid levels in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with Dravet syndrome with parkinsonism

open access: yesEpilepsia Open, Volume 10, Issue 3, Page 965-970, June 2025.
Abstract Dravet syndrome (DS) is an early onset, developmental, and epileptic encephalopathy characterized by drug‐resistant seizures and multiple comorbidities. It has been reported that in adulthood, it may be accompanied by parkinsonism, but the pathogenesis of this condition remains unclear.

Expression of full-length human alkylglycerol monooxygenase and fragments in Escherichia coli

open access: yesPteridines, 2013
Alkylglycerol monooxygenase (AGMO; EC 1.14.16.5) is the only enzyme known to cleave the O-alkyl ether bond of alkylglycerols in humans. It is an integral membrane protein with nine predicted transmembrane domains.

Analgesia by inhibiting tetrahydrobiopterin synthesis [PDF]

open access: yesCurrent Opinion in Pharmacology, 2012
Physiological control of the co-factor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is tight in normal circumstances but levels increase pathologically in the injured somatosensory system. BH4 is an essential co-factor in the production of serotonin, dopamine, epinephrine, norepinephrine and nitric oxide.

Vitamin C Transport Deficiency Alters Striatal Dopamine Gene Expression and Metabolism in YAC128 Huntington Disease Mice

open access: yesGenes, Brain and Behavior, Volume 24, Issue 3, June 2025.
ABSTRACT Neurodegeneration in Huntington disease (HD) contributes to dopaminergic system dysfunction via the loss of striatal medium spiny neurons expressing dopamine receptors. Given the key role for ascorbic acid (vitamin C) in dopamine synthesis and neurotransmission, we investigated whether mild cellular ascorbate deficiency accelerates ...

Challenges in the management of Phenylketonuria in Malta [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a rare metabolic disorder comprising a number of different enzyme deficiencies. In Malta, dihydropteridine reductase (DHPR) deficiency appears to be more common than phenylalanine hydroxylase deficiency (classical PKU), and is ...
