Reduced platelet phenylalanine hydroxylating activity in a subgroup of untreated schizophrenics. 1987

R Uebelhack, and L Franke, and D Kutter, and J Thoma, and K Seidel

Considering that platelet phenylalanine hydroxylase represents a rather high percentage of the total body hydroxylating activity, the encountered deficiency may very well be considered as one of the exacerbing factors of psychosis of this type. Further biochemical and clinical characterization of the described subgroup is in progress.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D010651 Phenylalanine Hydroxylase An enzyme of the oxidoreductase class that catalyzes the formation of L-TYROSINE, dihydrobiopterin, and water from L-PHENYLALANINE, tetrahydrobiopterin, and oxygen. Deficiency of this enzyme may cause PHENYLKETONURIAS and PHENYLKETONURIA, MATERNAL. EC 1.14.16.1.
