Phenylalanine Hydroxylase ( | Phenylalanine Hydroxylase (PheOH) is a type of enzyme involved in the catalization of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phenylalanine phenylalanine] into [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tyrosine tyrosine]. It belongs to the family of aromatic amino acid hydroxylases. Some other enzymes in this family include tyrosine hydroxylase and tryptophan hydroxylase. These enzymes require oxygen and tetrahydrobiopterin to convert their amino acid substrates into products. | ||
