Enzyme:Disease:

 

alpha-galactosidase AFabrys disease

(AKA ceramide trihexosidase)

 

C1 esterase inhibitorhereditary angioedema

 

Cu-dependent ATPaseEDS type IX (AKA X-linked cutis laxa) *lysyl oxidase:  decreased activity due to abnormal copper metabolism

 

an endonucleaseXP

 

epoxide hydrolase (inherited deficiency)phenytoin hypersensitivity syndrome

 

fatty alcohol oxidase deficiencySjögren-Larsson syndrome

 

ferrochelatase (deficiency)Erythropoietic Protoporphyria

 

homogentisic acid oxidase (deficiency)ochronosis (alkaptonuria)

 

lysyl hydroxylase (deficiency)EDS type VI

 

phytanic acid oxidase deficiencyRefsums syndrome

 

 

squalene epoxidasemechanism of terbinafine =  interferes with enzyme squalene epoxidase (= necessary for the first step in the conversion of squalene to ergosterol; the accumulation of squalene is fungicidal)

 

steroid sulfataseX-linked ichthyosis

 

thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT)involved in the catabolism of azathioprine; wide differences among individuals in levels of TPMT, which are controlled by a common genetic polymorphism and low levels may contribute to excessive myelosuppression in some patients treated with azathioprine

 

tyrosinasealbinism  (absent or defective)

 

uroporphyrinogen decarboxylasePCT

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

lysyl hydroxylase a collagen modifying enzyme

lysyl oxidase catalyzes the oxidation of lysyl residues in collagen and elastin

sialophorin - a surface glycoprotein on lymphocytes, neutrophils, and platelets
