Abstract excerpt
Mitochondrial neurogastrointestinal encephalomyopathy (MNGIE) is caused by mutations in the TYMP gene, which encodes thymidine phosphorylase (TP). As a cytosolic metabolic enzyme, TP defects affect biological processes that are thought to not be limited to the abnormal replication of mitochondrial DNA. This study aimed to elucidate the characteristic metabolic alterations and associated homeostatic regulation...
