Example sentences for: glud
How can you use “glud” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Because glutamate dehydrogenase recycles the neurotransmitter glutamate, the presence of GLUD2 may permit a higher neurotransmitter turnover and greater neuronal activity in hominoid brains than is possible in monkey brains, which lack GLUD2 , suggests Kaessmann.
GLUD2 , which first appeared 18–23 million years ago in hominoids, probably immediately picked up a brain-specific promoter and then over the next few million years acquired two critical amino acid changes, explains Kaessmann.
Kaessmann plans to search his extensive database of retrocopies in the human genome for other functional genes that could, like GLUD2 , be implicated in brain evolution.
This is the origin of GLUD2 , a retrogene derived from GLUD1 , which encodes glutamate dehydrogenase.
These allow GLUD2 -encoded glutamate dehydrogenase to work better in the brain than the GLUD1 -encoded enzyme.
