Mutations in SRD5B1 (AKR1D1), the gene encoding Delta(4)-3-oxosteroid 5 beta-reductase, in hepatitis and liver failure in infancy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Background: A substantial group of patients with cholestatic liver disease in infancy excrete, as the major urinary bile acids, the glycine and taurine conjugates of 7alpha-hydroxy-3-oxo-4-cholenoic acid and 7alpha, 12alpha-dihydroxy-3- oxo-4-cholenoic ...

Non-Enzymatic Formation of N-acetylated Amino Acid Conjugates in Urine

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Unknown N-acylated amino acid (N-AAA) conjugates have been detected in maple syrup urine disease (MSUD) and other inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs). This study aimed to elucidate the mechanism behind the formation of urinary N-AAA conjugates.

Amino acid metabolism and disease

open access: yes, 2023
4 p.The origin of life is still a matter of debate, and several hypotheses have been proposed to explain how the building blocks leading to the minimal cell were formed [1], with the amino acids among them. However, when considering their role, the first
