Primary Identifier | MGI:1349389 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 26912 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable glycine C-acetyltransferase activity and pyridoxal phosphate binding activity. Predicted to be involved in L-threonine catabolic process to glycine and biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human GCAT (glycine C-acetyltransferase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit no gross abnormalities. [provided by MGI curators] |
