ALDH18A1 Antibody recognizes ALDH18A1, also known as Pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthetase (P5CS), a bifunctional enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of glutamate to glutamate 5-semialdehyde. This intermediate is essential for the biosynthesis of proline, ornithine, and arginine.
Gene References Into Functions
Novel mutations in the ALDH18A1 gene have been identified in patients with complicated hereditary spastic paraplegia, characterized by cerebellar ataxia and cognitive impairment. (PMID: 29915212)
This study reports the first case of an individual with ALDH18A1-associated dominant cutis laxa (ADCL) due to a mutation at a residue other than Arg138. Understanding the full spectrum of dominant mutations that cause this rare syndrome is important for molecular diagnosis and genetic counseling. (PMID: 28228640)
The study examines the evolution of the ALDH18A1 gene in vertebrates and invertebrates, proposing a model for generating the bifunctional vertebrate and invertebrate ALDH18A1 gene from a bacterial operon (proBA) encoding glutamyl kinase and glutamyl phosphate reductase. (PMID: 27989597)
Recurrent de novo mutations affecting residue Arg138 of P5CS have been linked to a progeroid form of autosomal-dominant cutis laxa. (PMID: 26320891)
Autosomal recessive transmission of ALDH18A1 mutations is associated with predominantly complex hereditary spastic paraplegia with significant cognitive impairment. (PMID: 26026163)
Two genetic alterations, a frameshift deletion of one nucleotide and a microdeletion affecting the ALDH18A1 gene, were identified in a homozygous state in two patients. (PMID: 24913064)
This study expands the phenotypic spectrum associated with mutations in ALDH18A1. (PMID: 21739576)
Genetic variants in ALDH18A1 have been associated with Down syndrome in individuals with Alzheimer's disease dementia. (PMID: 20946940)
The study analyzes the function and regulation of Delta1-pyrroline-5-carboxylate synthase. (PMID: 18401542)
These findings suggest that P5CS may have additional uncharacterized functions that influence connective tissue and central nervous system function. (PMID: 18478038)
