Genotypic and phenotypic spectrum of pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy (ALDH7A1 deficiency) [PDF]
, 2010 Pyridoxine-dependent epilepsy was recently shown to be due to mutations in the ALDH7A1 gene, which encodes antiquitin, an enzyme that catalyses the nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide-dependent dehydrogenation of L-{alpha}-aminoadipic semialdehyde/L-{Delta}

Pyridoxine dependent epilepsies: new therapeutical point of view
Italian Journal of Pediatrics, 2017 Pyridoxine dependent epilepsies (PDEs) are rare autosomal recessive disorders with onset in neonatal period. Seizures are typically not responsive to conventional antiepileptic drugs, but they cease after parental pyridoxine administration.

Inhibiting Pyridoxal Kinase of Entamoeba histolytica Is Lethal for This Pathogen
Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021 Pyridoxal 5’-phosphate (PLP) functions as a cofactor for hundreds of different enzymes that are crucial to the survival of microorganisms. PLP-dependent enzymes have been extensively characterized and proposed as drug targets in Entamoeba histolytica ...
