    Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD) is a rare, autosomal recessive metabolic disorder in which the body is unable to process certain amino acids properly. It causes brain damage and progressive nervous system degeneration. MSUD is caused by mutations in three different genes: BCKDHA, BCKDHB and DBT (Warrell, Cox and Firth, 2012). The BCKDHA gene causes MSUD Type Ia due to the mutation in the E1α subunit, BCKDHB causes Type Ib due to the mutation in the E1ᵦ subunit, and DBT causes Type II due to…

    the scenes directors for the nutrients you consume. Without an adequate supply of multivitamins, any other supplement you take will be working below its potential. BCAA's (Branched Chain Amino Acids) Branched chain amino acids are critical.

    Maple Syrup Urine Disease (MSUD) is a rare, potentially deadly disorder where the body cannot break down the three branched- chained amino acids (BCCA): leucine, isoleucine and valine. These amino acids are used to build proteins and when they are not being used they can be broken down and recycled in the cell. The complex that breaks these amino acids down is called BCKD (branched-chain alpa-ketoacid dehydrogenase) and is made up of six proteins. When a person has a mutation in one of the six…

    Laforin is a 331 amino acid protein with a carbohydrate-binding domain (CBD) at its amino terminus. This CBD allows the protein to bind to glycogen and Lafora bodies, with preference given to the latter. Recent studies suggest that the binding of the CBD of laforin to Lafora bodies may be involved in the…
