General Information

General Information Comment Organism
malfunction neutrophil preparations from a patient with tyrosinemia type III, with inherited deficiency of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPPD), exhibit a far higher NO release than controls, when NO is estimated in terms of nitrite content in the suspending media. L-tyrosine increases nitrite release and accumulation in suspending media of U-937 cells, a human monoblast-like lymphoma cell line which displays many characteristics of macrophages, including the expression of inducible and endothelial nitric oxide synthases. The increase of nitrite release by patient's neutrophils might be related to the presence of high L-tyrosine concentrations in the blood samples rather than to HPPD deficiency of in these cells Homo sapiens
metabolism hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase catalyzes the second step in the pathway of L-tyrosine catabolism, the conversion of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate to homogentisate Homo sapiens
