Fumarylacetoacetic acid (fumarylacetoacetate) is an intermediate in the metabolism of tyrosine. It is formed through the conversion of maleylacetoacetate into fumarylacetoacetate by the enzyme maleylacetoacetate isomerase.[1] Fumarylacetoacetate is hydrolyzed by the enzyme fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH), producing acetoacetate and fumarate.[2] These compounds may then enter various other metabolic pathways.

Fumarylacetoacetate may accumulate in patients with Tyrosinemia type I, in which there is a deficiency of the FAH enzyme.[3] In this disease, fumarylacetoacetate and precursors in the catabolism of tyrosine, including maleylacetoacetate, succinylacetone, and homogentisic acid.
