Could targeting this enzyme slow aging and related diseases?

This was the conclusion that researchers at Kobe University in Japan came to after studying the enzyme D-amino acid oxidase (DAO) and its role in cells. DAO metabolizes D-amino acids, which, unlike their mirror-image cousins the L-amino acids, only have a small presence in mammal biology. For this reason, until the recent study, scientists knew little about the impact of DAO in the body. The new finding reveals that, in the process of metabolizing D-amino acids, DAO produces reactive...
