Adenylosuccinate acts as a novel pro-angiogenic factor
We recently demonstrated a dramatic 77-fold increase in brain adenylosuccinate (AdSucc) concentration during ischemia, reaching ~0.56 mM levels. Previously, the role of AdSucc induction under decreased energy charge was attributed to the activation of purine nucleotide (PNC) and the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA). Howe...
