The enzyme family of aromatic amino acid hydroxylases consist of phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH), tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) and tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH).
These enzymes all contain iron and use BH4 as a co-substrate in the hydroxylation of their respective aromatic amino acids. Additionally all mammalian AAAH form homotetramers and each monomer consists of three domains. These domains are the N-terminal regulatory domain (100-150 residues), the catalytic domain (approximately 315 residues) and the C-terminal tetramerisation domain (approximately 30-40 residues)[1].
