Biochemistry of Tyrosinemia [TYPE 2]

Oh no~ I really don't like this but... sigh. 
Yes, it's something cheem again!
Now get ready for some brain action!!!

The TAT enzyme is found in the liver and it is responsible for the breaking down tyrosine into 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate. The deficiency of TAT will result in an accumulation of tyrosine and its metabolites in the liver.

Are you guys brain dead yet? Because I am. :(
