cGMP Inhibits GTP Cyclohydrolase I Activity and Biosynthesis of Tetrahydrobiopterin in Human Umbilical Vein Endothelial Cells

ABSTRACT: Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) acts as an essential cofactor for the enzymatic activity of nitric oxide (NO) synthases. Biosynthesis of the cofactor BH4 starts from GTP and requires 3 enzymatic steps, which include GTP cyclohydrolase I (GCH I) catalysis of the first and rate-limiting step. In t...
