About GCAT

Cytogenetic location: 22q13.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 22:37,807,934-37,817,183 (from NCBI)

This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 209 orthologues and 5 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in pancreas (RPKM 12.0), prostate (RPKM 8.4) and 24 other tissues.

Summary

The degradation of L-threonine to glycine consists of a two-step biochemical pathway involving the enzymes L-threonine dehydrogenase and 2-amino-3-ketobutyrate coenzyme A ligase. L-Threonine is first converted into 2-amino-3-ketobutyrate by L-threonine dehydrogenase. This gene encodes the second Enzyme in this pathway, which then catalyzes the reaction between 2-amino-3-ketobutyrate and coenzyme A to form glycine and acetyl-CoA. The encoded Enzyme is considered a class II pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome 14. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
