Answer:
Aldehyde Dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) is an enzyme required to eliminate toxins such as acetaldehyde and alcohol, thereby mutations in this protein may be associated with the Alcohol flush syndrome (AFS)
Explanation:
ALDH2 is a protein required for ATP generation by catalyzing the oxidation of aldehydes to carboxylic acids (i.e., oxidation of NADH to NAD+). Mutations in the ALDH2 gene have been associated with the inactive form of this enzyme, and this specific mutation at position 487 alters its enzymatic activity associated with the metabolism of acetaldehyde and alcohol. This amino acid substitution may lead to the active site-directed inactivation of the enzyme.
1 Met or Start (start codon)
2 Ala
Answer:
The answer is GLUCOSE.
Explanation:
Glucose is the main sugar used by cells for energy. Glucose is derived from the digestion of carbohydrates. In humans, glucose is usually absorbed into the blood from the small intestine, the blood then carry the blood around the body, allowing each cell to have access to the glucose it needs.
If the quantity of glucose in the blood is more than needed per time, the body usually store the excess glucose as glycogen, the glycogen will be turned to glucose and release for cell use when the quantity of sugar in the blood is low. In the absence of glycogen, other macro nutrients such as lipids and proteins can also be converted to glucose via gluconeogenesis when the concentration of glucose in the blood is low.
The cells oxidize the glucose and convert it to energy in form of ATP, which they use to carry out their life activities.
15
Each one of those letters represents a nucleotide. So to find out how many nucleotides are in the gene, just count them
However, keep in mind that this only represents 1/2 strands that make up DNA. If you are supposed to include the other strand, simply double 15, and there would be 30 nucleotides total. However, only 1 strand is actually required in order for protein synthesis to work, so I think it's just 15.
