Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH 4, THB), also known as sapropterin (), [5] [6] is a cofactor of the three aromatic amino acid hydroxylase enzymes, [7] 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 ...
Dihydropteridine reductase deficiency (DHPRD) is a genetic disorder affecting the tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) synthesis pathway, inherited in the autosomal recessive pattern. It is one of the six known disorders causing tetrahydrobiopterin deficiency , and occurs in patients with mutations of the QDPR gene.
BH4 is the principal active cofactor. BH4 synthesis occurs through two principal pathways; the de novo pathway involves three enzymatic steps and proceeds from GTP, while the salvage pathway converts sepiapterin to BH4 using dihydrofolate reductase. [4] In addition, BH2 is recycled to BH4 by dihydrobiopterin reductase.
The discount chain said it agreed to a sale transaction with an investment firm which would allow hundreds of stores to stay open by transferring its property to other retailers and companies.
Ball-and-stick model of the tetrahydroborate anion, [BH 4] −. Borohydride refers to the anion [B H 4] −, which is also called tetrahydridoborate, and its salts. [1] Borohydride or hydroborate is also the term used for compounds containing [BH 4−n X n] −, where n is an integer from 0 to 3, for example cyanoborohydride or cyanotrihydroborate [BH 3 (CN)] − and triethylborohydride or ...
In 2012, investigators seemingly brought long-awaited closure to one of the nation's oldest and most high-profile kidnapping cases, solving it after more than 50 years.
A routine flight became a first-class reunion for a pilot and one of his passengers. On a United Airlines flight in Houston, Texas, the pilot came on the overhead speaker to deliver a special ...
