  <name>4a-Hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin</name>
  <description>4a-Hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin, also known as 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin, belongs to the class of organic compounds known as biopterins and derivatives. These are coenzymes containing a 2-amino-pteridine-4-one derivative. They are mainly synthesized in several parts of the body, including the pineal gland. 4a-Hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin is possibly soluble (in water) and a strong basic compound (based on its pKa). Dopamine and 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin can be biosynthesized from L-dopa and tetrahydrobiopterin; which is catalyzed by the enzyme aromatic-L-amino-acid decarboxylase. In cattle, 4a-hydroxytetrahydrobiopterin is involved in the metabolic pathway called the tyrosine metabolism pathway.</description>
