Abstract

A mutant mouse strain ddY/DAO- lacks D-amino acid oxidase activity and accumulates free neutral D-amino acids in its tissues. In this study, D-aspartate oxidase activity and D-aspartate content in the tissues of these mutant mice were compared with those of normal mice. No significant difference was observed, indicating that the metabolism of acidic D-amino acids was unaffected in the mutant.
