Summary: Enables phenylalanine 4-monooxygenase activity. Predicted to be involved in L-phenylalanine metabolic process and tyrosine biosynthetic process, by oxidation of phenylalanine. Is expressed in alimentary system; liver; and liver lobe. Used to study phenylketonuria. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in intellectual disability and phenylketonuria. Orthologous to human PAH (phenylalanine hydroxylase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

In PAH deficient MSCs, expression of Col1A1 and Rankl are suppressed by hyperphenylalaninemia consistent with reduced bone formation and bone turnover. Osteopenia is intrinsic to phenylketonuria (PKU) pathology in untreated Pah(enu2) animals and our data suggests PHE toxicity participates by inhibiting mineralization in the course of MSC bone differentiation.
Title: A bone mineralization defect in the Pah(enu2) model of classical phenylketonuria involves compromised mesenchymal stem cell differentiation.
We observed mRNA correction rates up to 63%, restoration of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) enzyme activity, and reversion of the light fur phenotype in Pah(enu2) mice. Our findings suggest that targeting genetic diseases in vivo using AAV-mediated delivery of base-editing agents is feasible, demonstrating potential for therapeutic application.
Title: Treatment of a metabolic liver disease by in vivo genome base editing in adult mice.
We demonstrate that kinetically instable and aggregation-prone variant Pah proteins trap BH4, shifting the pool of free BH4 towards bound BH4. Interference of PAH protein misfolding with metabolite-based control of l-phenylalanine turnover suggests a mechanistic link between perturbation of protein homeostasis and disturbed regulation of metabolic pathways.
Title: Secondary BH4 deficiency links protein homeostasis to regulation of phenylalanine metabolism.
We propose that CNS monoamine deficiency may be the cause of the partially reversible adverse behavioral effects associated with chronic HPA in Pah(enu2) mice, but that phenylalanine-reducing treatments initiated during adulthood are unable to correct the neuropathology and attendant cognitive deficits that develop during juvenile life in late-treated Pah(enu2/enu2) mice
Title: Blood phenylalanine reduction corrects CNS dopamine and serotonin deficiencies and partially improves behavioral performance in adult phenylketonuric mice.
we assessed DNA methylation patterns in brain tissues using methylated DNA immunoprecipitation and paired end sequencing in adult PAH(enu2) animals maintained under either continuous dietary Phe restriction or chronic hyperphenylalaninemia. Heterozygous PAH(enu2/WT) litter mates served as controls for normal Phe exposure

These observations support the proposition that differences in phenylalanine hydroxylase activity underlie the variation in S-carboxymethyl-L-cysteine sulfoxidation and that no other enzyme is able to undertake this reaction.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
