High impact information on Y71D11A.3

  • In this report, we address the molecular basis underlying quinolinate metabolism and the regulation of ACMSD expression [1].
  • Utilizing partial amino acid sequences obtained from highly purified porcine kidney ACMSD, a cDNA encoding human ACMSD was cloned and characterized [1].
  • Brain ACMSD messages were down- and up-regulated in response to low protein diet and streptozocin-induced diabetes, respectively [1].
  • The cDNA encodes a unique open reading frame of 336 amino acids and displays little homology to any known enzymes or motifs in mammalian databases, suggesting that ACMSD may contain a new kind of protein fold [1].
