Tetrahydrobioterin (BH4) Pathway: From Metabolism to …
Tetrahydrobipterin (BH4) is a pivotal enzymatic cofactor required for the synthesis of serotonin, dopamine and nitric oxide. BH4 is essential for numerous physiological processes at periphery and central levels, such as vascularization, inflammation, glucose homeostasis, regulation of oxidative stress and neurotransmission.
Frontiers | The Critical Role of Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) Metabolism …
2021年8月26日 · The de novo pathway (left) is synthesized from GTP to BH4 in three steps. GCH1 is the rate-limiting enzyme in BH4 de novo biosynthesis. The salvage pathway (right) produces BH4 from its oxidized form, starting with sepiapterin in two steps, which is essential to convert exogenous sepiapterin into BH4.
Tetrahydrobiopterin biosynthesis, regeneration and functions.
The pathway for the de novo biosynthesis of BH (4) from GTP involves GTP cyclohydrolase I, 6-pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin synthase and sepiapterin reductase. Cofactor regeneration requires pterin-4a-carbinolamine dehydratase and dihydropteridine reductase.
Tetrahydrobiopterin: Beyond Its Traditional Role as a Cofactor
2023年5月3日 · 6R-L-erythro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is an enzyme cofactor that is essential for the synthesis of monoamine neurotransmitters, for the metabolism of phenylalanine (Phe) and lipid esters, and for the production of nitric oxide (NO) .
Tetrahydrobiopterin biosynthesis, regeneration and functions
2000年4月1日 · The pathway for the de novo biosynthesis of BH(4) from GTP involves GTP cyclohydrolase I, 6-pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin synthase and sepiapterin reductase. Cofactor regeneration requires pterin-4a-carbinolamine dehydratase and dihydropteridine reductase.
Tetrahydrobiopterin in Cell Function and Death Mechanisms
Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is most well known as a required cofactor for enzymes regulating cellular redox homeostasis, aromatic amino acid metabolism, and neurotransmitter synthesis. Less well known are the effects dependent on the cofactor's availability, factors governing its synthesis and recycling, redox implications of the cofactor itself ...

2020年7月1日 · Synthesis and biological roles of BH4. A. BH4 de novo synthesis, salvage and regeneration pathways. Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is a guanosine-5′-triphosphate (GTP)-derived cofactor which is produced by three rate-limiting enzymes including GTP-cyclohydrolase1 (GTPCH), 6-Pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin synthase (PTPS) and sepiapterin reductase (SPR).
Tetrahydrobiopterin: biochemistry and pathophysiology
2011年9月15日 · BH4 is formed de novo from GTP via a sequence of three enzymatic steps carried out by GTP cyclohydrolase I, 6-pyruvoyltetrahydropterin synthase and sepiapterin reductase. An alternative or salvage pathway involves dihydrofolate reductase and may play an essential role in peripheral tissues.
