Background: Aldolase C

Aldolases are glycolytic enzymes that catalyze the reversible aldol cleavage of fructose 1,6-bisphosphate and fructose-1-phosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate and either glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate or glyceraldehyde, respectively. Three aldolase isozymes are found in mammals, specifically aldolases A, B, and C, each of which is encoded by a separate gene. Aldolase A is generally considered to be a muscle enzyme. Northern analysis of cultured cells suggests that it is present in both neurons and glia. Aldolase B is considered to be a liver-specific enzyme and it is transcriptionally activated by signals from hormones and dietary factors. In the adult, Aldolase C is the brain-specific isozyme, with low but detectable activity in fetal tissues. Aldolase C shares 81% amino acid identity with Aldolase A and 70% identity with Aldolase B. Earlier studies using isozyme-specific antibodies report its location in gray matter astrocytes and cells of the pia mater. In situ hybridization of mouse central nervous system using isozyme-specific probes revealed that Aldolase A and C are expressed in complementary cell types: Aldolase A mRNA is found in neurons; Aldolase C message is detected in astrocytes, some cells of the pia mater, and Purkinje cella. Aldolase C can in some situations be used as an astrocyte marker. However Purkinje cells of the cerebellum contain high levels of the enzyme, so the enzyme is not totally astrocyte specific.
