PAH is an iron bound homodimer or ‐tetramer from the same structural family as tyrosine 3‐monooxygenase and the tryptophan hydroxylases. Deficiency or loss‐of‐function of PAH is associated with http://omim.org/entry/612349

Tyrosine may also be metabolized in the liver by tyrosine transaminase to generate http://www.guidetopharmacology.org/GRAC/LigandDisplayForward?ligandId=6629, which can be further metabolized to homogentisic acid. TAT is a homodimer, where loss‐of‐function mutations are associated with http://omim.org/entry/276600. |
TH is a homotetramer, which is inhibited by dopamine and other catecholamines in a physiological negative feedback pathway [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/21176768?dopt=AbstractPlus]. |
DBH is a homotetramer. A protein structurally‐related to DBH (http://www.genenames.org/data/hgnc_data.php?hgnc_id=21063, http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q6UVY6) has been described and for which a function has yet to be identified [http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9751809?dopt=AbstractPlus]. |
