Figure 1From: Somatic transposition in the brain has the potential to influence the biosynthesis of metabolites involved in Parkinson’s disease and schizophreniaThe pathways of tyrosine metabolism which are most influenced by somatic transposition in the brain . Reactions with their EC numbers or catalyzing gene are represented with diamonds, metabolites with squares. Reactions which are influenced by TE insertions are highlighted with red; metabolites, which in consequence can be produced only at reduced rate are highlighted with blue. These include key metabolites like tyrosine, dopamine, glutamate, homovanillate or melanin.Back to article page
