A D-2-Hydroxyglutarate dehydrogenase mutant reveals a critical role for ketone body metabolism in <i>Caenorhabditis elegans</i> development
2022-05-17
Abstract excerpt
<h4>SUMMARY</h4> In humans, mutations in D-2-hydroxyglutarate (D-2HG) dehydrogenase (D2HGDH) result in D-2HG accumulation, delayed development, seizures, and ataxia. While the mechanisms of 2HG-associated diseases have been studied extensively, the endogenous metabolism of D-2HG remains unclear in any organism. Here, we find that, in Caenorhabditis elegans , D-2HG is produced in the propionate shunt, which is tr...
