Difference between 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase and Type I tyrosinemia

4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase vs. Type I tyrosinemia

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. Type 1 tyrosinemia, also known as hepatorenal tyrosinemia or tyrosinosis, is the most severe form of tyrosinemia, a buildup of too much of the amino acid tyrosine in the blood and tissues due to an inability to metabolize it.

Similarities between 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase and Type I tyrosinemia

4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase and Type I tyrosinemia have 3 things in common (in Unionpedia): Fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase, Nitisinone, Tyrosine.

Fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase

Fumarylacetoacetase is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the FAH gene located on chromosome 15.

Nitisinone

Nitisinone (INN), also known as NTBC (an abbreviation of its full chemical name) is a medication used to slow the effects of hereditary tyrosinemia type 1.
