Protein-bound molybdenum cofactor is bioavailable and rescues molybdenum cofactor-deficient <i>C. elegans</i>
2020-10-08
Abstract excerpt
The molybdenum cofactor (Moco) is a 520 dalton prosthetic group that is synthesized in all domains of life. In animals, four oxidases (among them sulfite oxidase) use Moco as a prosthetic group. Moco is essential in animals; humans with mutations in genes that encode Moco-biosynthetic enzymes display lethal neurological and developmental defects. Moco supplementation seems a logical therapy, however the instabilit...
