Abstract excerpt
D-amino acids are widely distributed across organisms, and their metabolism contributes to the regulation of neuronal activity and behavior. Whereas most animals possess one D-amino acid oxidase (DAAO) for neutral and basic D-amino acids and one D-aspartate oxidase (DDO) for acidic D-amino acids, the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans uniquely carries three DDOs. Previous studies showed that DDO-3 affects the nose...
