Journal ArticleDOI

The role of glutamate transporters in neurodegenerative diseases and potential opportunities for intervention

TL;DR: There is recent evidence that upregulation of one of the glutamate transporters, GLT-1 (also called EAAT2), with beta-lactam antibiotics attenuates the damage observed in models of both acute and chronic neurodegenerative disorders.
Journal ArticleDOI

A pilot study of in vivo liver-directed gene transfer with an adenoviral vector in partial ornithine transcarbamylase deficiency.

TL;DR: The low levels of gene transfer detected in this trial suggest that at the doses tested, significant metabolic correction did not occur and restoration of enzyme activity in the liver should suffice to normalize metabolism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Regulation of the Glial Na+-Dependent Glutamate Transporters by Cyclic AMP Analogs and Neurons

TL;DR: The studies suggest that GLT-1 and GLAST protein are regulated independently in astrocyte cultures and that a diffusible molecule secreted by neurons induces expression ofglial glutamate transporters inAstrocytes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Hydrolysis of the brain dipeptide N-acetyl-L-aspartyl-L-glutamate. Identification and characterization of a novel N-acetylated alpha-linked acidic dipeptidase activity from rat brain.

TL;DR: Comparison of the properties of NAALA dipeptidase to those of previously characterized enzymes suggests that this is a novel peptidase which may be involved in the synaptic degradation of N-acetyl-L-aspartyl- L-glutamate.
