Abstract excerpt
Primary Hyperoxaluria Type 1 (PH1) is a rare autosomal disease caused by mutations in AGXT that lead to the deficiency of alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGT). AGT is a liver pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP)-dependent enzyme that detoxifies glyoxylate inside peroxisomes. The lack of AGT activity results in a build-up of glyoxylate that is oxidized to oxalate, then culminating in hyperoxaluria often leading to...
