Recombinant Human Fumarylacetoacetase/FAH Protein (His Tag)

Product Specifications

Background

Fumarylacetoacetase belongs to the FAH family. Fumarylacetoacetase is primary expressed in liver and kidney. It exists as a homodimer and catalyzes the hydrolysis of 4-fumarylacetoacetate into fumarate and acetoacetate. Defects in Fumarylacetoacetase cause tyrosinemia type 1, which is congenital metabolism defect characterized by elevated levels of tyrosine in the blood and urine, and hepatorenal manifestations. Typical features include renal tubular injury, self-mutilation, hepatic necrosis, episodic weakness, and seizures.
