Aivaras Ratkevicius,Andrew M. Carroll,Audrius Kilikevicius,Tomas Venckunas,Kevin T. McDermott,Stuart R. Gray,Henning Wackerhage,Arimantas Lionikas +7 more
TL;DR: Investigation of the mechanisms underlying low activity of citrate synthase in A/J mice compared with other inbred strains of mice found a nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) in Cs gene occurring near the site of the protein interacting with acetyl CoA that could be the underlying cause of low CS activity and its high affinity for substrates.
