Metabolite Identification
Common Name4a-Hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin
DescriptionTetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is essential for catalyzing the conversion of phenylalanine into tyrosine by phenylalanine hydroxylase. During this physiological reaction, the oxidation of BH4 creates 4a-hydroxytetrahydropterin (CAS: 70110-58-6) intermediates and hydrogen peroxide is formed. The hydrogen peroxide and the hydroxytetrahydropterin can both be derived from alternate breakdown routes of a common precursor, the corresponding 4a-hydroperoxytetrahydropterin (PMID: 8323303 ).
