3-alpha-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency

An autosomal recessive, metabolic disorder with various clinical presentations including hypoglycemia, hepatoencephalopathy, myopathy or cardiomyopathy, and in some cases sudden death.

Transcriptional regulator which controls the expression of hepatic genes during the transition of endodermal cells to hepatic progenitor cells, facilitating the recruitment of RNA pol II to the promoters of target genes (PubMed:30597922). Activates the transcription of CYP2C38 (By similarity). Represses the CLOCK-BMAL1 transcriptional activity and is essential for circadian rhythm maintenance and period regulation in the liver and colon cells (PubMed:30530698)

Maturity-onset diabetes of the young 1

A form of diabetes that is characterized by an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance, onset in childhood or early adulthood (usually before 25 years of age), a primary defect in insulin secretion and frequent insulin-independence at the beginning of the disease.

Antiporter that exports dicarboxylate intermediates of the Krebs cycle in exchange for phosphate plus a proton across the inner membrane of mitochondria, a process driven by mitochondrial motive force with an overall impact on glycolysis, glutaminolysis and glutathione-dependent redox balance. Continuous export of oxaloacetate and related four-carbon dicarboxylates from mitochondrial matrix into the cytosol negatively regulates the oxidation of acetyl-CoA substrates via the Krebs cycle, lowering

Mitochondrion inner membrane

Transcriptional activator that regulates the tissue specific expression of multiple genes, especially in pancreatic islet cells and in liver (By similarity). Binds to the inverted palindrome 5'-GTTAATNATTAAC-3' (PubMed:10966642, PubMed:12453420). Activates the transcription of CYP1A2, CYP2E1 and CYP3A11 (By similarity) (Microbial infection) Plays a crucial role for hepatitis B virus gene transcription and DNA replication. Mechanistically, synergistically cooperates with NR5A2 to up-regulate the

Hepatic adenomas familial

Rare benign liver tumors of presumable epithelial origin that develop in an otherwise normal liver. Hepatic adenomas may be single or multiple. They consist of sheets of well-differentiated hepatocytes that contain fat and glycogen and can produce bile. Bile ducts or portal areas are absent. Kupffer cells, if present, are reduced in number and are non-functional. Conditions associated with adenomas are insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and glycogen storage diseases (types 1 and 3).

Regulator subunit of pancreatic ATP-sensitive potassium channel (KATP), playing a major role in the regulation of insulin release. In pancreatic cells, it forms KATP channels with KCNJ11; KCNJ11 forms the channel pore while ABCC8 is required for activation and regulation

Leucine-induced hypoglycemia

Rare cause of hypoglycemia and is described as a condition in which symptomatic hypoglycemia is provoked by high protein feedings. Hypoglycemia is also elicited by administration of oral or intravenous infusions of a single amino acid, leucine.

Bidirectional proton-coupled monocarboxylate transporter (PubMed:12946269, PubMed:32946811, PubMed:33333023). Catalyzes the rapid transport across the plasma membrane of many monocarboxylates such as lactate, pyruvate, acetate and the ketone bodies acetoacetate and beta-hydroxybutyrate, and thus contributes to the maintenance of intracellular pH (PubMed:12946269, PubMed:33333023). The transport direction is determined by the proton motive force and the concentration gradient of the substrate mon

Symptomatic deficiency in lactate transport

Deficiency of lactate transporter may result in an acidic intracellular environment created by muscle activity with consequent degeneration of muscle and release of myoglobin and creatine kinase. This defect might compromise extreme performance in otherwise healthy individuals.

Serine/threonine-protein kinase which acts as an essential component of the MAP kinase signal transduction pathway. Acts as a MAPK kinase kinase kinase (MAP4K) and is an upstream activator of the stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal kinase (SAP/JNK) signaling pathway and to a lesser extent of the p38 MAPKs signaling pathway. Required for the efficient activation of JNKs by TRAF6-dependent stimuli, including pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) such as polyinosine-polycytidi

Inward rectifier potassium channel that forms the pore of ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP), regulating potassium permeability as a function of cytoplasmic ATP and ADP concentrations in many different cells (PubMed:29286281, PubMed:34815345). Inward rectifier potassium channels are characterized by a greater tendency to allow potassium to flow into the cell rather than out of it. Their voltage dependence is regulated by the concentration of extracellular potassium; as external potassium is

Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, familial, 2

A form of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by inappropriate insulin secretion from the pancreatic beta-cells in the presence of low blood glucose levels. HHF2 is a common cause of persistent hypoglycemia in infancy. Unless early and aggressive intervention is undertaken, brain damage from recurrent episodes of hypoglycemia may occur. HHF2 inheritance can be autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive.

Mitochondrial glutamate dehydrogenase that catalyzes the conversion of L-glutamate into alpha-ketoglutarate. Plays a key role in glutamine anaplerosis by producing alpha-ketoglutarate, an important intermediate in the tricarboxylic acid cycle (PubMed:11032875, PubMed:11254391, PubMed:16023112, PubMed:16959573). Plays a role in insulin homeostasis (PubMed:11297618, PubMed:9571255). May be involved in learning and memory reactions by increasing the turnover of the excitatory neurotransmitter gluta

Hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, familial, 6

A form of hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia, a clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorder characterized by inappropriate insulin secretion from the pancreatic beta-cells in the presence of low blood glucose levels. HHF6 is an autosomal dominant form characterized by hypoglycemia due to congenital hyperinsulinism combined with persistent hyperammonemia. Clinical features include loss of consciousness due to hypoglycemia, hypoglycemic seizures, and mental retardation.

Receptor tyrosine kinase which mediates the pleiotropic actions of insulin. Binding of insulin leads to phosphorylation of several intracellular substrates, including, insulin receptor substrates (IRS1, 2, 3, 4), SHC, GAB1, CBL and other signaling intermediates. Each of these phosphorylated proteins serve as docking proteins for other signaling proteins that contain Src-homology-2 domains (SH2 domain) that specifically recognize different phosphotyrosine residues, including the p85 regulatory su
