Secondary Information

Presence in other biological fluids/tissue/cells several mammalian sources that include sheep brain and beef adrenal medulla, the liver of sheep , beef . rat , monkey and human , and also from various murine and human cell samples
Protein Function play vital roles in the synthesis of the catecholamines dopamine, epinephrine and serotonin and indirectly can also influence the generation of the melanin pigments;
Biochemical Properties enzyme is somewhat hydrophobic; as obtained from sheep liver, enzyme exists as a dimer ; With tetrahydrobiopterin as the source of the quinonoid-dihydropterin substrate, the Km, for DPNH is about one-fifteenth that of TPNH, and the Vmax with DPNH is more than three times as great as it is with TPNH;
Significance in milk L-phenylalanine catabolism
