“…It is therefore clear that tumours may produce alkaline phosphatase isoenzymes other than Regan isoenzyme. The latter has been postulated to arise as a result of genome derepression, possibly associated with the action of a virus within the tumour cells ; the heat-sensitive tumour variant we describe is, in contrast, in accord with the observation that mutant genes may cause the synthesis of a structurally altered enzyme protein whose stability is reduced, causing it to be more rapidly broken down in vivo (Harris, 1970).…”

“…Alternatively, the wide range of bilirubin levels found in type 2 patients may indicate that there is a range of allelomorphs for each of the genes that control the processes of uptake and conjugation of bilirubin. The enzymes synthesized by these genes need only differ in one amino acid, and therefore in stability or specific activity (Harris, 1970). Combinations of mildly abnormal genes would result in the observed range of phenotypes with abnormal bilirubin levels, so our propositi with bilirubin levels much higher than those of their parents would be heterozygous for each of two different, abnormal genes.…”

“…Acresce ainda que foi no metabolismo dos aminoácidos (AmAc) que Garrod descreveu o primeiro EIM -a alcaptonúria -coincidentemente no mesmo ciclo metabólico do erro metabólico do AmAc que hoje constitui a mais freqüente e mais estudada das aminoacidopatias, a fenilcetonúria (FNC) 13 .Os AmAc dividem-se em 5 > 12 : essenciais -aqueles que o organismo não sintetiza, necessitando serem supridos mediante alimentação (triptofano, lisina, metionina, fenilalanina, treonina, leucina, isoleucina, valina, histidina e arginina); não-essenciais -aqueles que o organismo humano sintetiza, não necessitando de suprimento exógeno (alanina, glicina, ácidos glutâmico e hidroxiglutâmico, ácido aspártico, cistina, cisterna, tirosina, prolina, hidroxiprolina, serina, norleucina e citrulina).Segundo Hawk & col. 12 os AmAc podem ser ácidos, básicos ou neutros, na dependência da proporção dos grupos ácidos e básicos constituintes de suas cadeias. Os AmAc neutros são a maioria, sendo subdivididos em: 1. alifá-ticos (glicina, alanina, serina, treonina, valina, leucina, isoleucina e norleucina); 2. aromáticos (fenilalanina, tirosina, cistina, cisteína, metionina); 3. heterocíclicos (triptofano, prolina e hidroxiprolina).…”
