D-amino acid oxidase (DAO) is a flavoenzyme that metabolizes D-amino acids by oxidative deamination, producing hydrogen peroxide (HO) as a by-product. The generation of intracellular HO may alter the redox-homeostasis mechanism of cells and increase the oxidative stress levels in tissues, associated with the pathogenesis of age-related diseases and organ decline. This study investigates the effect of DAO knockdown using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) through an approach on its protein-protein interactions (PPIs) and their potential roles in the process of aging.

A substantial body of evidence has established the contributions of both mitochondrial dynamics and lipid metabolism to the pathogenesis of diabetic kidney disease (DKD). However, the precise interplay between these two key metabolic regulators of DKD is not fully understood. Here, we uncover a link between mitochondrial dynamics and lipid metabolism by investigating the role of carbohydrate-response element-binding protein (ChREBP), a glucose-responsive transcription factor and a master regulator of lipogenesis, in kidney podocytes.

RCDP type 2 is specifically caused by glyceronephosphate O-acyltransferase () gene mutations and is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. The disorder is characterized by skeletal abnormalities, distinctive facial features, intellectual disability, and respiratory distress.

Purpose: Plasmalogens (Plgs) are highly abundant lipids in the retina, and their deficiency leads to severe abnormalities during eye development. The first acylation step in the synthesis of Plgs is catalyzed by the enzyme glyceronephosphate O-acyltransferase (GNPAT), which is also known as dihydroxyacetone phosphate-acyltransferase (EC 2.3.

Peroxisomes are single-membrane bounded organelles that in humans play a dual role in lipid metabolism, including the degradation of very long-chain fatty acids and the synthesis of ether lipids/plasmalogens. The first step in de novo ether lipid synthesis is mediated by the peroxisomal enzyme glyceronephosphate O-acyltransferase, which has a strict substrate specificity reacting only with the long-chain acyl-CoAs. The aim of this study was to determine the origin of these long-chain acyl-CoAs.
