Structural highlights
DiseaseHPPD_HUMAN Defects in HPD are the cause of tyrosinemia type 3 (TYRO3) [MIM:276710. TYRO3 is an inborn error of metabolism characterized by elevations of tyrosine in the blood and urine, seizures and mild mental retardation.[1] [2] Defects in HPD are a cause of hawkinsinuria (HAWK) [MIM:140350. HAWK is an inborn error of tyrosine metabolism characterized by failure to thrive, persistent metabolic acidosis, fine and sparse hair, and excretion of the unusual cyclic amino acid metabolite, hawkinsin, in the urine.[3] FunctionHPPD_HUMAN Key enzyme in the degradation of tyrosine.
