Which enzyme deficiency causes tyrosinemia type 1?

A
Fumaryl acetoacetate hydrolase
B
Tyrosine transaminase

High-Yield Explanation
Fumarylacetoacetate is then hydrolyzed to fumarate and acetoacetate by a hydrolase (step 6, Fig.17.2). This results in the production of a glucogenic product (fumarate) and a ketone body (acetoacetate). Hence phenylalanine and tyrosine are paly glucogenic and paly ketogenic.
