Inborn errors of metabolism are rare genetic disorders that affect the body’s metabolism. Metabolism [meh-TAB-uh-lih-zem] describes the body’s ability to convert food and drink into energy, as well as get rid of certain wastes made during that process. It’s a complex process that uses many different chemicals, enzymes, hormones, cells, and organs to work properly.
Enzymes are special proteins that cause chemical reactions. When we eat, the digestive system uses enzymes to break down the food into sugars, amino acids, fatty acids, and other chemicals that can be used by the body. The body uses these chemicals as fuel or energy, as well as to build or repair tissues. Anything that can’t be used by the body is a waste. Enzymes can also help convert or break down wastes so they can be removed from the body.
