| Hazard Information | Back Directory | [Uses]
Tetrahydrobiopterin is a naturally occurring essential cofactor of the three aromatic amino acid hydroxylase enzymes, used in the degradation of amino acid phenylalanine and in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitters serotonin, melatonin, dopamine, norepinephrine , epinephrine, and is a cofactor for the production of nitric oxide by the nitric oxide synthases. Chemically, its structure is that of a reduced pteridine derivative. | [Definition]
ChEBI: 5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin is a tetrahydropterin, a member of biopterins and a diol. It has a role as a prosthetic group, a coenzyme, a nutraceutical and a human metabolite. |
