| 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
 |
| 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
 |
| 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. |
