transgenic mice overexpressing the enzyme in brain have decreases in MAP2A labeling of dendrites and in synaptophysin labeling of presynaptic terminals, increasing in neuronal numbers and dendrite and presynaptic terminal labeling with advancing age, and show decreases in long-term potentiation of synaptic activity and in spine density in dendrites of CA1 neurons. Despite overexpression of Glud1 in all neurons of the central nervous system, the Tg mice suffer neuronal losses in select brain regions, e.g., the CA1 but not the CA3 region, dendrite structure and neuronal numbers in brains of transgenic mice, overview. The transgenic mice are significantly more resistant than wild-type mice to induction and duration of anesthesia produced by anesthetics that suppress Glu neurotransmission, phenotype, overview

neither FLAG nor (His)6 tags disturb the mitochondrial localization of GDH. The addition of the small tags to the N-terminus of the mature mitochondrial enzyme does not change the ADP activation or GTP inhibition pattern of the proteins. The addition of FLAG tag to the C-terminus of the mouse GDH left the recombinant protein fivefold less sensitive to ADP activation
