Another effect of the loss of Menin is the decline in levels of the amino acid D-serine, an enzyme required in the production of neurotransmitters and the communication between neurons to maintain optimal brain function.
The authors showed this decline was due to loss of activity of an enzyme involved in its synthesis (which was in turn regulated by Menin).
Could reversing age-related Menin loss also reverse signs of physiological aging?

Studies show that Menin, a hypothalamic protein, is a key inhibitor of hypothalamic neuroinflammation. As levels of menin decrease, the hypothalamus experiences an increase in neuroinflammation that promotes metabolic and cognitive disorders that occur with aging such as eductions in bone mass an...

To test that, the authors delivered the gene for Menin into the hypothalamus of elderly (20-month-old) mice. 30 days later, they found improvements in skin thickness and bone mass, learning, cognition, and balance, which correlated with an increase in D-serine within the hippocampus.
