ENZYME entry: EC 1.14.16.2

PURL: https://purl.expasy.org/enzyme/EC/1.14.16.2
Accepted Name
tyrosine 3-monooxygenase
Alternative Name(s)
L-tyrosine hydroxylase
tyrosine 3-hydroxylase
tyrosine hydroxylase
Reaction catalysed
(6R)-L-erythro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin + L-tyrosine + O2 = (4aS,6R)-4a-hydroxy-L-erythro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin + L-dopa
Comment(s)
  • Activated by phosphorylation, catalyzed by EC 2.7.11.27.
  • The 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin formed can dehydrate to 6,7- dihydrobiopterin, both spontaneously and by the action of EC 4.2.1.96.
  • The 6,7-dihydrobiopterin can be enzymically reduced back to tetrahydrobiopterin, by EC 1.5.1.34, or slowly rearranges into the more stable compound 7,8-dihydrobiopterin.
