Fumarylacetoacetic acid (fumarylacetoacetate) is an intermediate in the metabolism of
tyrosine. It is formed through the conversion of
maleylacetoacetate
4-Maleylacetoacetate (4-maleylacetoacetatic acid) is an intermediate in the metabolism of tyrosine. It is converted to fumarylacetoacetate by the enzyme 4-maleylacetoacetate cis-trans-isomerase. Gluthathione coenzymatically helps in conversion to ...
