Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a condition that makes it impossible to metabolize the amino acid phenylalanine. People with PKU lack an enzyme called phenylalanine hydroxylase, which is required to break down phenylalanine. If left untreated, the buildup of phenylalanine can lead to brain damage and other neurological problems, so individuals with PKU must follow a strict low-phenylalanine diet.

What is the definition of gene regulation?
specific proteins are made only at certain times in certain cells. APEX
What is The binding of complement proteins to certain sugars or proteins on a foreign Cell's surface?
The prelude to invasion.
Do Golgi apparatus receive proteins and lipids from the endoplasmic reticulum?
Yes. And they also receive certain types of proteins and H2O.
Are almost all enzymes considered proteins?
No, this is not always true. Almost all enzymes are made of protein, but now it has been dixcovered that certain types of RNA can function as enzymes also (spliceosomes are an organelle that use enzymatic RNA).
What do prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells use to turn certain genes on or off?
Proteins
How can Morquio's syndrome be prevented?
It is a genetic syndrome that makes it impossible to metabolize certain mucopolysaccharides. It cannot be prevented once born. It can be treated. The only way to prevent it is to use reproductive technology to make sure a child with it is not conceived.
