This report confirms the accumulation of neopterin and the low biopterin concentration in the liver of a "biopterin-synthetase" deficient patient. Enzymatic studies suggest that the defect lies between the "X"-compound (6-pyruvoyl-tetrahydropterin?) and tetrahydrobiopterin and that pterin found in the patient's liver arises from the "X"-compound.
本报告证实了一名“生物蝶呤合成酶”缺乏患者肝脏中新蝶呤的积累和低生物蝶呤浓度。酶学研究表明,缺陷存在于“X”化合物(6-丙酮酰四氢蝶呤?)和四氢生物蝶呤之间,且患者肝脏中发现的蝶呤源自“X”化合物。
