Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 217830 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables D-glutamate cyclase activity. Involved in glutamate metabolic process. Located in mitochondrial matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; heart; liver; lung; and spleen. Orthologous to human DGLUCY (D-glutamate cyclase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit elevated D-glutamate levels in the heart. [provided by MGI curators] |
