  • Title: Amino acid catabolism in the nematodes Heligmosomoides polygyrus and Panagrellus redivivus. 2. Metabolism of the carbon skeleton.
    Author: Grantham BD, Barrett J.
    Journal: Parasitology; 1986 Dec; 93 ( Pt 3)():495-504. PubMed ID: 3797061.
    Abstract:
    All of the enzymes of proline catabolism were present in Heligmosomoides polygyrus and Panagrellus redivivus and the activities were, in general, similar to those found in rat liver. Both nematodes were also shown to be able to catabolize the branched-chain amino acids leucine, isoleucine and valine, by pathways similar to those found in mammalian liver. There were no significant differences in amino acid catabolism between the animal-parasitic and free-living species of nematode.
