Mammalian CSAD and GADL1 have distinct biochemical properties and patterns of brain expression
Variants in the gene encoding the enzyme glutamic acid decarboxylase like 1 (GADL1) have been associated with response to lithium therapy. Both GADL1 and the related enzyme cysteine sulfinic acid decarboxylase (CSAD) have been proposed to be involved in the pyridoxal-5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent biosynthesis of taurine. In the present study, we compared the catalytic properties, inhibitor sensi...
متن کاملProtein phosphorylation and taurine biosynthesis in vivo and in vitro.
Taurine is known to be involved in many important physiological functions. Here we report that both in vivo and in vitro the taurine-synthesizing enzyme in the brain, namely cysteine sulfinic acid decarboxylase (CSAD), is activated when phosphorylated and inhibited when dephosphorylated. Furthermore, protein kinase C and protein phosphatase 2C have been identified as the enzymes responsible for...
متن کاملBrain Glutamate Decarboxylase
Glutamate decarboxylase (glutamate 1-carboxylyase, EC 4.1.1.15, GAD)* IS the major, rate-limiting enzyme in brain for synthesizing gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA). Total GAD activity in brain is 10-20 times greater than the observed rate of GABA synthesis (Collins, 1972; Matsui and Deguchi, 1977; Casu and Gale, 1981), indicating that GAD operates at only a fraction of its capacity. Although othe...
متن کاملrole of cultural iran in promotion of multilaieralism in central asia and caucasus
cultural iran is a scope that is more extended than the political territories of iran as a political unit. this concept means that cultural geography(mehdi moghanlo-1383-1) of iran is greater than its political geography which, according to history, has a long history extending west-east from kandahar to the euphrates and north-south from the persian gulf to the caucasus including transoxiana a...
15 صفحه اولAlteration of Depressive-like Behaviors by Psilocybe cubensis Alkaloid Extract in Mice: the Role of Glutamate Pathway
Background and objectives: Considering the increasing prevalence of depression, many studies are launched to investigate new antidepressant treatments. The present research has shown how psilocybin as an active compound of Psilocybe cubensis (Earle) Singer extract (PCE) can change the parameters related to depression and anxiety in animal models. Both ...
