In astrocytes exposed to 1 μM synthetic oligomeric Aβ42 for five days, the urea cycle revved up twofold. In particular, the enzyme ornithine decarboxylase 1 (ODC1) was elevated, converting ornithine ...

The transport activity of human mitochondrial aspartate/glutamate carriers is central to the malate–aspartate shuttle, urea cycle, gluconeogenesis and myelin synthesis. They have a unique three ...
