Application

Application Comment Organism
medicine in patients with Alzheimer's disease, ornithine carbamoyltransferase is expressed in brain, but not in controls. Ornithine carbamoyltransferase expression is strictly restricted to vascular endothelial cells. Ornithine carbamoyltransferase activity is 880% increased in the cerebrospinal fluid of probable Alzheimer's disease cases compared with controls. Rare haplotypes may be associated with the risk of Alzheimer's disease through a possible modulation of the methylation of the ornithine carbamoyltransferase promoter Homo sapiens
