Difference between 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase and Homogentisic acid

4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase vs. Homogentisic acid

4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), also known as α-ketoisocaproate dioxygenase (KIC dioxygenase), is an Fe(II)-containing non-heme oxygenase that catalyzes the second reaction in the catabolism of tyrosine - the conversion of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate into homogentisate. Homogentisic acid (2,5-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid) is a phenolic acid usually found in Arbutus unedo (strawberry-tree) honey.

Similarities between 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase and Homogentisic acid

4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase and Homogentisic acid have 2 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alkaptonuria, Tyrosine.

Alkaptonuria

Alkaptonuria is a rare inherited genetic disorder in which the body cannot process the amino acids phenylalanine and tyrosine, which occur in protein.
