Brief Communication The Diagnostic Difficulties of Complex Glycerol Kinase Deficiency
We describe 2 siblings with the contiguous X-linked gene deletion syndrome, complex glycerol kinase deficiency. The elder sibling demonstrated the difficulties diagnosing this rare condition. Affected children have the combined complications of congenital adrenal hypoplasia, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, and glycerol kinase deficiency. These patients illustrate the importance of genetic testing ...
متن کاملGlycerol Kinase: Substrate Specificityl
Glycerol kinase (8.C. 2.7.1.30, ATP: glycerol-3-phosphotransferase) catalyzes the phosphorylation of 28 nitrogen, sulfur, and alkyl-substituted analogues of glycerol. A survey of 66 analogues has defined qualitatively the structural characteristics nffissary for acceptability as a substrate by this enzyme. This survey was conducted using an assay based on 3lP NMR spectroscopy which detected pro...
متن کاملSpecificity of pyruvate kinase.
Short Communications Specificity of pyruvate kinase Previous reports have indicated that pyruvate kinase is a relatively non-specific enzyme capable of catalyzing the transfer of phosphate from PEP to a wide variety of nucleoside diphosphate acceptors l& In the present studies, attempts were made to utilize this enzyme for the assay of UDP.The rate of phosphate transfer to nucleoside diphosphat...
متن کاملA Case of Isolated Glycerol Kinase Deficiency
The patient was born at term to non-consanguineous parents following a normal pregnancy, and there was no past medical history of note. He presented at 2.5 years of age following a one day history of diarrhoea, vomiting and pyrexia. On arrival at the Accident and Emergency department he was floppy and unresponsive, except to painful stimuli, however there were no abnormal movements. He was main...
متن کاملGlycerol kinase and dihydroxyacetone kinase in rat brain.
The enzymatic phosphorylation of glycerol and dihydroxyacetone by ATP to ,sn-glycerol-3phosphate and dihydroxyacetone phosphate respectively in various subcellular fractions of rat hrain was studied. A sensitive radiochemical assay was used where the labelled phosphorylated products were separated from the radioactive substrates by high voltage paper electrophoresis and the radioactivity in the...
