Metabolite Treatments for Metabolic Dysfunction and Neurological Disease Caused by Mutations in Mitochondrial Enzyme GPT2

Overview The mitochondrial enzyme glutamate pyruvate transaminase 2 (GPT2) is necessary for metabolic mechanisms central to neuronal survival and axonal growth. Having demonstrated that loss-of-function mutations in GPT2 cause neuronal vulnerabilities involved in a variety of brain diseases and areas of brain function, we have developed a metabolite...
