Gene identification for the cblD defect of vitamin B12 metabolism [PDF]
Background Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) is an essential cofactor in several metabolic pathways. Intracellular conversion of cobalamin to its two coenzymes, adenosylcobalamin in mitochondria and methylcobalamin in the cytoplasm, is necessary for the ...

Diagnostic pitfalls in neonatal hypertyrosinemia: a case report
Hypertyrosinemia results from abnormality in tyrosine metabolism. Acquired hypertyrosinemia is notably more common than inherited types and typically presents with profile suggestive of secondary aetiology on biochemical testing.

Aminosäuren – Leitlinie Parenterale Ernährung, Kapitel 4 [PDF]
Protein catabolism should be reduced and protein synthesis promoted with parenteral nutrion (PN). Amino acid (AA) solutions should always be infused with PN. Standard AA solutions are generally used, whereas specially adapted AA solutions may be required

Vitamin B2 enables regulation of fasting glucose availability
Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) interacts with flavoproteins to mediate oxidation-reduction reactions required for cellular energy demands. Not surprisingly, mutations that alter FAD binding to flavoproteins cause rare inborn errors of metabolism (IEMs)

Cloning of Dimethylglycine Dehydrogenase and a New Human Inborn Error of Metabolism, Dimethylglycine Dehydrogenase Deficiency [PDF]
Dimethylglycine dehydrogenase (DMGDH) (E.C. number 1.5.99.2) is a mitochondrial matrix enzyme involved in the metabolism of choline, converting dimethylglycine to sarcosine. Sarcosine is then transformed to glycine by sarcosine dehydrogenase (E.C. number
