Muscle atrophy induced by overexpression of ALAS2 is related to muscle mitochondrial dysfunction
ALAS2 (delta-aminolevulinate synthase 2) is one of the two isoenzymes catalyzing the synthesis of delta-aminolevulinic acid (ALA), which is the first precursor of heme synthesis. ALAS2-overexpressing transgeni... (Source: Skeletal Muscle)
