Tyrosine hydroxylase [E.C. 1.14.16.2] is inactivated by incubation with its reduced pterin cofactors L-erythro-tetrahydrobiopterin, 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6-methyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin and 2-amino-4-hydroxy-6,7-dimethyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydropterin. Each of the two diastereoisomers of L-erythro-tetrahydrobiopterin inactivates tyrosine hydroxylase but the natural (6R) form is much more potent than the unnatural (6S) form at equimolar concentrations. The pterin analog 6-methyl-5-deazatetrahydropterin, which has no cofactor activity, also inactivates the enzyme whereas the oxidized pterins 7,8 dihydrobiopterin and biopterin do not. The inactivation process is both temperature and time dependent and results in a reduction of the Vmax for both tetrahydrobiopterin and tyrosine. Neither tyrosine nor oxygen inactivates tyrosine hydroxylase.
