Incubation of bovine chromaffin cells with L-[14C]phenylalanine resulted in label accumulation in catecholamines at about 30% of the rate seen with L-tyrosine as precursor. Studies with purified tyrosine hydroxylase (EC 1.14.16.2) showed that the enzyme catalysed the hydroxylation of L-phenylalanine first to L-p-tyrosine and then to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA). No evidence for a significant involvement of an L-m-tyrosine intermediate in DOPA formation was found.
用L-[14C]苯丙氨酸孵育牛嗜铬细胞,导致儿茶酚胺中的标记积累,其速率约为以L-酪氨酸作为前体时所观察到速率的30%。对纯化的酪氨酸羟化酶(EC 1.14.16.2)的研究表明,该酶首先催化L-苯丙氨酸羟基化为L-p-酪氨酸,然后再羟基化为3,4-二羟基苯丙氨酸(多巴)。未发现L-m-酪氨酸中间体在多巴形成过程中起显著作用的证据。
