Abstract excerpt
Identification of regulatory mutations of glutamate dehydrogenase (GDH) in a form of congenital hyperinsulinism (GDH-HI) is providing a model for basal insulin secretion (IS) and amino acid (AA)-stimulated insulin secretion (AASIS) in which glutaminolysis plays a key role. Leucine and ADP are activators and GTP is an inhibitor of GDH. GDH-HI mutations impair GDH sensitivity to GTP inhibition, leading to fasting...
