The Citric Acid Cycle: Overview

The Citric Acid Cycle: Overview

In aerobic organisms, the citric acid cycle is the second stage of cellular respiration wherein molecules derived from the breakdown of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats are oxidized into carbon dioxide and energy. This process is also known as the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle as the first product of the cycle, citric acid, contains three carboxyl groups in its structure. Alternatively, this cycle is also referred to as the Krebs cycle, in honor of its discoverer Sir Hans Krebs.
The citric...

The Citric Acid Cycle: Output

The Citric Acid Cycle: Output

The citric acid cycle is termed an amphibolic pathway as it operates both anabolically and catabolically. The cyclic reactions balance the flux of the substrates to provide an optimal concentration of NADH and ATP to the cell.
Regulation of Citric Acid Cycle
The citric acid cycle is regulated in several ways, including feedback inhibition, regulation of enzyme activities, and associated anaplerotic or cataplerotic pathways.
The primary substrate of the TCA cycle—acetyl CoA—is produced by the...

Overview of Metabolism

Overview of Metabolism

Living cells constantly carry out various chemical reactions which are necessary for their proper functioning. These reactions are interlinked to one another via multiple pathways. The collection of these chemical reactions is known as metabolism.
Plant Metabolism
Sunlight, the primary source of energy in plants, is first absorbed by the chlorophyll pigments present in their leaves. Plants then use this energy to carry out photosynthesis, where water is oxidized into oxygen and carbon dioxide...

Inflammatory Bowel Disease III: Diagnostic Studies and Management I-Nutritional Therapy

Inflammatory Bowel Disease III: Diagnostic Studies and Management I-Nutritional Therapy

Various diagnostic tests are employed in the diagnostic process for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), particularly to differentiate between Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis.
Diagnostic studies
A colonoscopy is the definitive screening test, distinguishing ulcerative colitis from other colon diseases with similar symptoms. During a colonoscopy test, inflamed mucosa with exudate ulcerations can be observed, and biopsies are taken to determine the histologic characteristics of the colonic...

The Citric Acid Cycle

The Citric Acid Cycle

The citric acid cycle, also known as the Krebs cycle or TCA cycle, consists of several energy-generating reactions that yield one ATP molecule, three NADH molecules, one FADH2 molecule, and two CO2 molecules.

Lysosomal Hydrolases

Lysosomal Hydrolases

Lysosomes are the site for the degradation of macromolecules and biological polymers released during membrane trafficking events such as secretory, endocytic, autophagic, and phagocytic pathways. The membrane-enclosed area of the lysosome, called the lumen, contains hydrolytic enzymes active in an acidic environment. These acid hydrolases are functional at a pH between 4.5 and 5 and are involved in cellular processes such as cell signaling, energy metabolism, restoration of the plasma membrane,...

Summary

Citrin deficiency, caused by SLC25A13 gene mutations, leads to serious liver disorders like citrullinemia type II and neonatal cholestasis. Research indicates this condition is globally prevalent with diverse genetic mutations across populations.

Area of Science:

Genetics and Molecular Biology
Hepatology
Biochemistry

Context:

Citrin deficiency is an inherited metabolic disorder.
It is caused by mutations in the SLC25A13 gene, encoding the mitochondrial aspartate/glutamate carrier (citrin).
Clinical manifestations include adult-onset type II citrullinemia (CTLN2) and neonatal intrahepatic cholestasis caused by citrin deficiency (NICCD).

Purpose:

To review recent advancements in understanding citrin deficiency.
To highlight the global prevalence and genetic diversity of SLC25A13 mutations.
To propose future research directions for citrin deficiency.

Summary:

Citrin deficiency results from mutations in the SLC25A13 gene, affecting citrin function.
The condition manifests as CTLN2 and NICCD, with cases identified worldwide.
Racial variations in SLC25A13 mutations suggest a global distribution.

Impact:

Advances understanding of citrin deficiency's genetic basis and clinical spectrum.
Emphasizes the need for global awareness and diagnosis of citrin deficiency.
Provides a foundation for future research into therapeutic strategies and genetic counseling.
