Entry
EC 1.14.16.2                Enzyme                                 

Name tyrosine 3-monooxygenase;
L-tyrosine hydroxylase;
tyrosine 3-hydroxylase;
tyrosine hydroxylase
Class Oxidoreductases;
Acting on paired donors, with O2 as oxidant and incorporation or
reduction of oxygen. The oxygen incorporated need not be derived
from O2;
With reduced pteridine as one donor, and incorporation of one atom
of oxygen into the other donor
BRITE hierarchy
Sysname L-tyrosine,tetrahydrobiopterin:oxygen oxidoreductase
(3-hydroxylating)
Reaction(IUBMB) L-tyrosine + tetrahydrobiopterin + O2 =
3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine + 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin
[RN:R07212]
Reaction(KEGG) R07212;
(other) R01815
Show
Substrate L-tyrosine [CPD:C00082];
tetrahydrobiopterin [CPD:C00272];
O2 [CPD:C00007]
Product 3,4-dihydroxy-L-phenylalanine [CPD:C00355];
4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin [CPD:C15522]
Cofactor Iron [CPD:C00023]
Comment The active centre contains mononuclear iron(II). The enzyme is
activated by phosphorylation, catalysed by EC 2.7.11.27, [acetyl-CoA
carboxylase] kinase. The 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin formed can
dehydrate to 6,7-dihydrobiopterin, both spontaneously and by the
action of EC 4.2.1.96, 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin dehydratase.
The 6,7-dihydrobiopterin can be enzymically reduced back to
tetrahydrobiopterin, by EC 1.5.1.34 (6,7-dihydropteridine
reductase), or slowly rearranges into the more stable compound
7,8-dihydrobiopterin.
