Human glyoxylate metabolism revisited: New insights pointing to multi-organ involvement with implications for siRNA-based therapies in primary hyperoxaluria.

Abstract excerpt

Glyoxylate is a toxic metabolite because of its rapid conversion into oxalate, as catalyzed by the ubiquitous enzyme lactate dehydrogenase. This requires the presence of efficient glyoxylate detoxification systems in multiple subcellular compartments, as glyoxylate is produced in peroxisomes, mitochondria, and the cytosol. Alanine glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGT) and glyoxylate reductase/hydroxypyruvate...
