SLC2A knockout mice deficient in ascorbic acid synthesis recapitulate aspects of arterial tortuosity syndrome and display mitochondrial respiration defects
2019-12-02
Abstract excerpt
Arterial tortuosity syndrome (ATS) is a recessively inherited connective tissue disorder, mainly characterized by tortuosity and aneurysm formation of the major arteries. ATS is caused by loss-of-function mutations in SLC2A10 , encoding the facilitative glucose transporter GLUT10. Former studies implicate GLUT10 in transport of dehydroascorbic acid, the oxidized form of ascorbic acid (AA). Mouse models carrying h...
