Altered hippocampal gene expression, glial cell population, and neuronal excitability in aminopeptidase P1 deficiency

Abstract Inborn errors of metabolism are often associated with neurodevelopmental disorders and brain injury. A deficiency of aminopeptidase P1, a proline-specific endopeptidase encoded by the Xpnpep1 gene, causes neurological complications in both humans and mice. In addition, aminopeptidase P1-def...
