The -butyrobetaine dioxygenase enzyme, as well as the first enzyme of carnitine synthesis (trimethyllysine hydroxylase, encoded by the TMLHE gene), are members of the large family of 2-oxoglutarate and ferrous (Fe 2+ ) iron-dependent dioxygenases
Currently published mitochondrial-encoded peptides, which are expressed from the mitochondrial open reading frame of the 12S ribosomal RNA type-c (MOTS-c), 16S rRNA (humanin and short humanin like peptide 1-6 [SHLP1-6]), or small human mitochondrial open reading frame over serine tRNA (SHMOOSE) are associated with regulation of cellular metabolism and insulin action in age-related diseases, such as type 2 diabetes mellitus
A small group of amino acids comprised of isoleucine, phenylalanine, threonine, tryptophan, and tyrosine give rise to both glucose and fatty acid precursors and are thus, characterized as being glucogenic and ketogenic
