Abstract excerpt
The intermediary metabolic enzyme alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGT) is normally targeted to the peroxisomes in human liver cells. However, in a third of patients suffering from the autosomal recessive disease primary hyperoxaluria type 1 (PH1), AGT is mistargeted to the mitochondria. Such organelle-to-organelle mistargeting is without parallel in human genetic disease. AGT mistargeting results from the...
