FAA Antibody / FAH / Fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase

Fumarylacetoacetase, also called FAA, Fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase and FAH, is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the FAH gene located on chromosome 15. The FAH gene is thought to be involved in the catabolism of the amino acid phenylalanine in humans. This gene encodes the last enzyme in the tyrosine catabolism pathway. FAH deficiency is associated with Type 1 hereditary tyrosinemia (HT).
