Inhibition of guanosine monophosphate synthetase ( GMPS ) blocks glutamine metabolism and prostate cancer growth
26 Mar 2021
Abstract excerpt
Abstract Glutamine is a critical nutrient in cancer; however, its contribution to purine metabolism in prostate cancer has not previously been determined. Guanosine monophosphate synthetase (GMPS) acts in the de novo purine biosynthesis pathway, utilizing a glutamine amide to synthesize the guanine nucleotide. This study demonstrates that GMPS mRNA expression correlates with Gleason score in prostate cancer...
