Arginine And Glutamate Rich Protein 1 (ARGLU1)

Arginine And Glutamate Rich Protein 1 belongs to the UPF0430 family. Arginine is an α-amino acid.The L-form is one of the 20 most common natural amino acids. At level of molecular genetics, in the structure of the messenger ribonucleic acid mRNA, CGU, CGC, CGA, CGG, AGA, and AGG, are the triplets of nucleotid bases or codons that codify for arginine during protein synthesis. Glutamate is a key molecule in cellular metabolism. In humans, dietary proteins are broken down by digestion into amino acids, which serves as metabolic fuel for other functional roles in the body. A key process in amino acid degradation is transamination, in which the amino group of an amino acid is transferred to an α-ketoacid, typically catalysed by a transaminase.
