Primary Identifier | MGI:3646700 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 434437 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable aminomethyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in glycine decarboxylation via glycine cleavage system. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in embryo and extraembryonic component. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glycine encephalopathy and glycine encephalopathy 2. Orthologous to human AMT (aminomethyltransferase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trapped allele develop neural tubes defects at high frequency and exhibit prenatal lethality. [provided by MGI curators] |
