Anti-Glud1 Antibody

GLUD1/GDH1 is a mitochondrial glutamate dehydrogenase that converts L-glutamate into alpha keto-glutarate which is an important intermediate in the TCA cycle. GLUD1/GDH1, because it metabolizes glutamate which is also an important neurotransmitter, plays a role in learning and memory reactions mediated by glutamate, as well as certain neurodegenerative disorders associated with altered glutamate metabolism. Mutations in GLUD1/GDH1 are the most common cause of persistent hyperinsulinism hypoglycemia (HHF6). Interestingly GLUD1/GDH1 may also be involved in glutamate toxicity that accompanies aging. It appears that a decline in GLUD1/GDH1 function, even in over expressing mice, leads to buildup of glutamate and subsequent glutamate induced neurotoxicity.
