Subsequent secondary-source reviews have proposed candidate interactions modulation of GABAergic and glutamatergic tone, possible NMDA-receptor involvement, peripheral 1-adrenergic effects but these have not been replicated in primary studies that establish direct binding or saturable transduction at a defined receptor
Through direct binding to presenilin enhancer 2 (PEN2) on the lysosomal membrane, metformin inhibits v-ATPase via interaction with ATP6AP1, triggering recruitment of the AXIN-LKB1 complex to the lysosome (Ma et al., 2022
