Muscle AMP deaminase activity was lower in Neandertals than in modern humans

Abstract The enzyme AMPD1 is expressed in skeletal muscle and is involved in ATP production. All available Neandertal genomes carry a lysine-to-isoleucine substitution at position 287 in AMPD1. This variant, which occurs at an allele frequency of 0–8% outside Africa, was introduced to modern humans...
