Main Activity Of Children’s Pku Network
-: PKU is a genetic inborn error of metabolism that is detectable during the first days of life with appropriate blood testing (newborn screening).
-: The absence or deficiency of an enzyme that is responsible for processing the essential amino acid phenylalanine characterizes PKU.
-: With normal enzymatic activity, phenylalanine is converted to another amino acid (tyrosine), which is then utilized by the body.
-: However, when the phenylalanine hydroxylase enzyme is absent or deficient, phenylalanine abnormally accumulates in the blood and is toxic to brain tissue.
