Abstract:Alkb homolog 7 (ALKBH7) is a mitochondrial α-ketoglutarate dioxygenase required for necrotic cell death in response to DNA alkylating agents, but its physiologic role within tissues remains unclear.Herein, we show that ALKBH7 plays a key role in the regulation of dialdehyde metabolism, which impacts cardiac survival in response to ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury. Using a multi-omics approach, we do not find evidence that ALKBH7 functions as a prolyl-hydroxylase. However, we do find that mice lacking ALKBH7 ex… Show more
