Abstract:Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 (CPS1) is a key gene in the first step of urea cycle and has been correlated with nitric oxide level and vascular smooth muscle activity. A functional single-nucleotide polymorphism C/A at position 4217 in CPS1 (National Center for Biotechnology Information SNP database no. rs7422339, T1405N) was reported to be associated with high homocysteine (Hcy) plasma values. Although genetic variants of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene are known to influence Hcy concentra… Show more
