GADL1 is a multifunctional decarboxylase with tissue-specific roles in β-alanine and carnosine production

Abstract

locus with plasma levels of carnosine, subjective well-being, and muscle strength. Together, this shows the multifaceted and organ-specific roles of carnosine peptides and establishes Gadl1 knockout mice as a versatile model to explore carnosine biology and its therapeutic potential.
