Phenylalanine hydroxylase

Phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) encodes the enzyme phenylalanine hydroxylase that is the rate-limiting step in phenylalanine catabolism. Deficiency of this enzyme activity results in the autosomal recessive disorder phenylketonuria.
As part of the Imperial 2009 iGEM E.ncapsulator project, E.coli was engineered to synthesise PAH to a tunable threshold, and successfully coat and protect it through the stomach, until release in the small intestine.
