  2. Glutamate dehydrogenase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutamate_dehydrogenase

    Liver diseases in which necrosis of hepatocytes is the predominant event, such as toxic liver damage or hypoxic liver disease, are characterised by high serum GLDH levels. GLDH is important for distinguishing between acute viral hepatitis and acute toxic liver necrosis or acute hypoxic liver disease, particularly in the case of liver damage ...

  3. Glutamate dehydrogenase 1 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutamate_dehydrogenase_1

    GLUD1 (glutamate dehydrogenase 1) is a mitochondrial matrix enzyme, one of the family of glutamate dehydrogenases that are ubiquitous in life, with a key role in nitrogen and glutamate (Glu) metabolism and energy homeostasis. This dehydrogenase is expressed at high levels in liver, brain, pancreas and kidney, but not in muscle.

  4. Glutaric acidemia type 2 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutaric_acidemia_type_2

    Glutaric acidemia type 2 has an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. Mutations in the ETFA, ETFB, and ETFDH genes cause glutaric acidemia type II. Mutations in these genes result in a deficiency in one of two enzymes that normally work together in the mitochondria, which are the energy-producing centers of cells.

  5. N-Acetylglutamate synthase deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N-Acetylglutamate_synthase...

    N-acetyl glutamate is required for the urea cycle to take place. Deficiency in N-acetylglutamate synthase or a genetic mutation in the gene coding for the enzyme will lead to urea cycle failure in which ammonia is not converted to urea, but rather accumulated in blood leading to the condition called type I hyperammonemia. This is a severe ...

  6. Liver failure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_failure

    Liver failure is the inability of the liver to perform its normal synthetic and metabolic functions as part of normal physiology. Two forms are recognised, acute and chronic (cirrhosis). [ 1 ] Recently, a third form of liver failure known as acute-on-chronic liver failure ( ACLF ) is increasingly being recognized.

  7. Glutaminase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutaminase

    The end product of the glutaminase reaction, glutamate, is a strong inhibitor of the reaction. Changes in glutamate dehydrogenase, which converts glutamate to 2-oxoglutarate and thereby decreases intramitochondrial glutamate levels, are thereby an important regulatory mechanism of glutaminase activity.

  8. Pyruvate carboxylase deficiency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Pyruvate_carboxylase_deficiency

    Pyruvate carboxylase deficiency is an inherited disorder that causes lactic acid to accumulate in the blood. [2] High levels of these substances can damage the body's organs and tissues, particularly in the nervous system. Pyruvate carboxylase deficiency is a rare condition, with an estimated incidence of 1 in 250,000 births worldwide.

  9. Glutamic acid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glutamic_acid

    Glutamic acid (symbol Glu or E; [4] the anionic form is known as glutamate) is an α-amino acid that is used by almost all living beings in the biosynthesis of proteins.It is a non-essential nutrient for humans, meaning that the human body can synthesize enough for its use.
