What's a GeneRIF?

Gene delivery corrects N-acetylglutamate synthase deficiency and enables insights in the physiological impact of L-arginine activation of N-acetylglutamate synthase.
Title: Gene delivery corrects N-acetylglutamate synthase deficiency and enables insights in the physiological impact of L-arginine activation of N-acetylglutamate synthase.
The specificity of the assay was validated by demonstrating a complete deficiency of NAGS in liver homogenates from Nags -/- mice. CONCLUSION: The novel NAGS enzyme assay reported herein can be used for the diagnosis of inherited NAGS deficiency and may also be of value in the study of secondary hyperammonemia present in various inborn errors of metabolism as well as drug treatment.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
