Targeting postsynaptic glutamate receptor scaffolding proteins PSD-95 and PICK1 for obesity treatment
1 Mar 2024
Abstract excerpt
Human genome-wide association studies (GWAS) suggest a functional role for central glutamate receptor signaling and plasticity in body weight regulation. Here, we use UK Biobank GWAS summary statistics of body mass index (BMI) and body fat percentage (BF%) to identify genes encoding proteins known to interact with postsynaptic α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid (AMPA) andN-methyl-d-aspartate...
