Identification
Name: 4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid
Description:4-Hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid (4-HPPA) is a keto acid. It is a product of the enzyme (R)-4-hydroxyphenyllactate dehydrogenase [EC 1.1.1.222] and is formed during tyrosine metabolism (KEGG). There are two isomers of HPPA, specifically 4HPPA and 3HPPA, of which 4HPPA is the most common. The enzyme 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid dioxygenase (HPD) catalyzes the reaction of 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvic acid to homogentisic acid in the tyrosine catabolism pathway.
