Protein kinase A controls the hexosamine pathway by tuning the feedback inhibition of GFAT-1

The glutamine fructose-6-phosphate amidotransferase 1 (GFAT-1) is the rate-limiting enzyme in the hexosamine pathway producing uridine 5’-diphospho-N-acetyl-D-glucosamine (UDP-GlcNAc), an essential glycosylation precursor. Here, the authors dissect the mechanisms of GFAT-1 regulation by protein kina...
