Protein Essential for Cell Health is Avid Multitasker: TH is among least-studied mitochondrial enzymes

Researchers have found that a protein vital for cell health that has recently been associated with cancer and diabetes, can juggle its cellular to-do list—in effect having two alike protein parts split the workload. A key protein for most life forms—the TH enzyme (transhydrogenase)—works inside mitochondria. “Despite its importance, TH has been one of the least-studied mitochondrial...

Neuroscience News: Protein Discovery Linked to Circadian Clocks and Metabolism

For years, the details and inner workings of the body’s circadian clock – the biological internal timing device that directs the sleep cycles of virtually every living organism – have eluded scientists. But a recent discovery by researchers at the Gladstone Institute has linked a crucial protein to the circadian rhythm of human bodies –...
