Its namesake synthase requires senine, which is dehydrated to G-3-P; this is the terminal step in its five-step biosynthetic pathway that begins with the operation of anthranilate synthase on chorisimate.
Type I of its namesake –inemia, an autosomal recessive disease, is caused by an inability to synthesize fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase. Its namesake synthase requires senine, which is dehydrated to G-3-P; this is the terminal step in its five-step biosynthetic pathway that begins with the operation of anthranilate synthase on chorisimate. The precursor of the catecholamines, this compound is also known as 4-hydroxyphenylalanine. For ten points, identify this amino acid with a phenol side chain that is symbolized Y.
