Tat - tyrosine aminotransferase Gene

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 234724

Summary

This gene encodes a liver-specific mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of L-tyrosine into p-hydroxyphenylpyruvate. Regulated by glucocorticoid and polypeptide Hormones, this gene's expression is affected by deletion of a regulatory region near the albino locus on chromosome 7. Mutations in this gene cause tyrosinemia type II in humans. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]
