D176V | oral administration of the sialic acid precursor N-acetylmannosamine rescues the muscle phenotype in the transgenic Gne p.D176V mouse and partially rescues the glomerular disease and early lethality in the knockin Gne mutant M712T mouse model | Mus musculus |
M712T | naturally occuring mutation of isozyme mGne2. Tissues of the knock-in Gne p.M712T mouse model has similar mGne transcript expression levels among genotypes, indicating no effect of the mutation on mRNA expression, but the mutant shows increased activity in presence of N-acetylmannosamine compared to the wild-type enzyme. M712T mouse mutants die within 72 h of birth from severe glomerular disease | Mus musculus |

evolution | sequence comparion and modeling of human hGNE1 and mouse mGne1 isozymmess, overview | Mus musculus |
malfunction | non-allosteric GNE gene mutations cause the muscular disorder GNE myopathy, i.e. hereditary inclusion body myopathy. Complete Gne knockout is embryonically lethal. Transgenic mice expressing the human GNE cDNA with the D176V mutation, common among Japanese patients, in a mouse background with a disrupted mouse Gne gene recapitulates the adult onset features of human GNE myopathy with hyposialylation in serum and different organs. M712T mouse mutants die within 72 h of birth from severe glomerular disease. Mouse isozyme mutant phenotypes, overview | Mus musculus |
metabolism | the bifunctional enzyme UDP-GlcNAc 2-epimerase/ManNAc kinase, GNE, catalyzes the first two committed steps in sialic acid synthesis | Mus musculus |
physiological function | the mGne2 encoding transcript is differentially expressed and may act as a tissue-specific regulator of sialylation. mGne2 expression appears significantly increased the first 2 days of life, possibly reflecting the high sialic acid demand during this period | Mus musculus |
