General Information | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
malfunction | in vivo studies with Gcn2 knockout mice show increased susceptibility to both acute or chronic liver damage induced by CCl4, as shown by higher alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase activities, increased necrosis and higher inflammatory infiltrates compared with wild-type mice. Chronic CCl4 treatment increases deposition of interstitial collagen type I. Col1a1 and col1a2 mRNA levels also increase in CCl4-treated Gcn2-/- mice compared with wild-type mice | Mus musculus |
physiological function | the enzyme has a key role in collagen type I production by hepatic stellate cells | Homo sapiens |
physiological function | the enzyme is a key regulator of the fibrogenic response to liver injury | Mus musculus |
