The concentration of amino acids is partly regulated by obligatory amino-acid exchangers, including SLC38A1 (SNAT1), SLC38A2 (SNAT2), SLC1A5 (ASCT2) and SLC7A5 (LAT1), which co-ordinate the bidirectional transport of glutamine and leucine to regulate their concentrations within the cell (Broer et al, 2016), and thus partly regulate mTOR activity (Nicklin et al, 2009)
Since GSH is the final product of the homocysteine metabolism in the transsulfuration pathway by transferring sulfur from homocysteine to cysteine, a deficiency in transsulfuration pathway leads to excessive homocysteine production (hyperhomocysteinemia) and reduced GSH synthesis (159, 160)
