Gfpt2 modulates cardiac fibroblast activation and metabolic reprogramming, with glutathione metabolism identified as a key downstream pathway in the ischemic injury response.
Takasugi et al. (2025) studied Ischemic cardiac injury. Gfpt2 knockdown was evaluated on Changes to gene expression and metabolic pathways. Gfpt2 knockdown in adult mouse cardiac fibroblasts upregulated extracellular matrix pathways and altered glutathione metabolism, demonstrating its role in modulating cardiac fibroblast activation.
