The compound exists in equilibrium with its (E)- and (Z)-enol tautomers.[citation needed] It is a product from the oxidative deamination of phenylalanine.When the activity of the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase is reduced, the amino acid phenylalanine accumulates and gets converted into phenylpyruvic acid (phenylpyruvate), which leads to 'Phenylketonuria (PKU)' instead of 'tyrosine' which is ...
In 2002, however, two of Jay's grandchildren, sister and brother Liesel and Matthew Pritzker, filed a lawsuit against her father, Robert Pritzker and their other relatives, claiming that ...
