The hydroxylase cofactor, tetrahydrobiopterin, and its biosynthetic system are localized in dopaminergic nerve terminals in the striatum. This conclusion is based on the nearly equivalent loss of tyrosine hydroxylase and tetrahydrobiopterin and its initial biosynthetic enzyme, guanosine triphosphate cyclohydrolase, after injection of 6-hydroxydopamine into the substantia nigra. The role of the hydroxylase cofactor in the regulation of dopamine synthesis is reassessed.
羟化酶辅因子四氢生物蝶呤及其生物合成系统定位于纹状体中的多巴胺能神经末梢。这一结论基于在向黑质注射6-羟基多巴胺后,酪氨酸羟化酶、四氢生物蝶呤及其初始生物合成酶鸟苷三磷酸环化水解酶几乎同等程度的丧失。对羟化酶辅因子在多巴胺合成调节中的作用进行了重新评估。
