Role of Enzymes in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) refers to a deadly neurodegenerative disease where neurons are selectively damaged or destroyed in both the spinal cord and brain. The precise cause of ALS is uncertain, but scientists have been able to establish that it involves some biochemical disturbances and enzyme disorders. The involvement of specific enzymes in the etiology of ALS requires extensive elucidation. It is important to provide further details about the complicated interconnection among enzyme mismanagement and the deterioration process in ALS, as it may help in developing a cure or intervention for the debilitating consequence of the disease.
