Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) gene spanning 90100 kb, with 13 exons, is mapped to human chromosome 12q23.2. The gene codes for non-heme iron enzyme, phenylalanine hydroxylase that belongs to the pteridine-dependent aromatic amino acid monooxygenase family.
Synonyms: Anti-OTTHUMG00000007911; Anti-PH; Anti-phenylalanine hydroxylase

Application: All Prestige Antibodies Powered by Atlas Antibodies are developed and validated by the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) project (www.proteinatlas.org)and as a result, are supported by the most extensive characterization in the industry. The Human Protein Atlas project can be subdivided into three efforts: Human Tissue Atlas, Cancer Atlas, and Human Cell Atlas. The antibodies that have been generated in support of the Tissue and Cancer Atlas projects have been tested by immunohistochemistry against hundreds of normal and disease tissues and through the recent efforts of the Human Cell Atlas project, many have been characterized by immunofluorescence to map the human proteome not only at the tissue level but now at the subcellular level. These images and the collection of this vast data set can be viewed on the Human Protein Atlas (HPA) site by clicking on the Image Gallery link.

Biochem Physiol Actions: Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) catalyzes the hydroxylation of phenylalanine to tyrosine in the presence of molecular oxygen and cofactor tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4). Mutation in the gene leads to the development of phenylketonuria (PKU) and hyperphenylalaninemia.
