Glutamine gluttony of efferocytes
NATURE METABOLISM(2021)
Abstract
Dysfunctional efferocytosis impairs clearance of apoptotic cells in disease. A new study shows that glutamine catabolism supports efficient apoptotic cell efferocytosis via non-canonical glutamine transamination but not canonical GLUD1-dependent α-ketoglutarate production, in a process that may operate in human atherosclerosis.
