Neopterin, Dihydroneopterin, Tetrahydroneopterin: Different Structures-Increasing Capacity Cleaving the Porphyrin in Heme Proteins
Neopterin, 7,8-dihydroneopterin and 5,6,7,8-terahydroneopterm are secreted by human macrophages after activation by interferon-γ. The biological stability of the reduced pterins is less than one hour and therefore distinctly lower than that of neopterin. Ptendme derivatives are known to act as enhan...
