General description

The FAH gene is mapped to human chromosome 15q25.1. The encoded protein consists of 419 amino acids and 14 coding exons.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the C terminal region of human FAH

Biochem/physiol Actions

FAH (fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase) catalyzes the last step in tyrosine catabolic pathway. FAH deficiency leads to hereditary tyrosinemia type 1. FAH mutations eventually lead to Renal Fanconi Syndrome, due to severe liver cirrhosis and renal tubular acidosis caused by accumulation of toxic metabolites such as fumarylacetoacetate.

FAH is the last enzyme in the tyrosine catabolism pathway. FAH deficiency is associated with Type 1 hereditary tyrosinemia.This gene encodes the last enzyme in the tyrosine catabolism pathway. FAH deficiency is associated with Type 1 hereditary tyrosinemia (HT).
