Difference between Hyperphenylalaninemia and Phenylalanine

Hyperphenylalaninemia vs. Phenylalanine

Hyperphenylalaninemia is a medical condition characterized by mildly or strongly elevated concentrations of the amino acid phenylalanine in the blood. Phenylalanine (symbol Phe or F) is an α-amino acid with the formula.

Similarities between Hyperphenylalaninemia and Phenylalanine

Hyperphenylalaninemia and Phenylalanine have 10 things in common (in Unionpedia): Amino acid, Biosynthesis, Enzyme, L-DOPA, Neurotransmitter, Phenylalanine hydroxylase, Phenylketonuria, Tetrahydrobiopterin, Tryptophan, Tyrosine.

Amino acid

Amino acids are organic compounds containing amine (-NH2) and carboxyl (-COOH) functional groups, along with a side chain (R group) specific to each amino acid.

Phenylalanine hydroxylase

Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) is an enzyme that catalyzes the hydroxylation of the aromatic side-chain of phenylalanine to generate tyrosine.

Phenylketonuria

Phenylketonuria (PKU) is an inborn error of metabolism that results in decreased metabolism of the amino acid phenylalanine.

Tetrahydrobiopterin

Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4, THB), also known as sapropterin, is a naturally occurring essential cofactor of the three aromatic amino acid hydroxylase enzymes, used in the degradation of amino acid phenylalanine and in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitters serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-HT), melatonin, dopamine, norepinephrine (noradrenaline), epinephrine (adrenaline), and is a cofactor for the production of nitric oxide (NO) by the nitric oxide synthases.

Tryptophan

Tryptophan (symbol Trp or W) is an α-amino acid that is used in the biosynthesis of proteins.
