Biopterin - Wikipedia
网页Biopterins are pterin derivatives which function as endogenous enzyme cofactors in many species of animals and in some bacteria and fungi. The prototypical compound of the class is biopterin (6- (1,2-dihydroxypropyl)-pterin), as shown in the infobox.
Tetrahydrobioterin (BH4) Pathway: From Metabolism to …
网页2021年4月4日 · Tetrahydrobipterin (BH4) is a pivotal enzymatic cofactor required for the synthesis of serotonin, dopamine and nitric oxide. BH4 is essential for numerous physiological processes at periphery and central levels, such as vascularization, inflammation, glucose homeostasis, regulation of oxidative stress and neurotransmission.

Biopterin - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
网页Function: Biopterin is needed for the metabolism of phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan, and for the synthesis of hormones, neurotransmitters, and skin pigments (catecholamines, melanin, serotonin, melanotonin), and cell signaling (nitric oxide).
Biopterin - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
网页Biopterin is defined as the pteridine analogue in which the heterocyclic ring is substituted with amino, carbonyl oxygen and 1,2-dihydroxypropyl at the 2, 4 and 6 positions, respectively. The redox state of this substituted ring has profound effects on chemical, spectral and biological activity, existing as fully oxidized (biopterin), partially ...
