Gcat - glycine C-acetyltransferase (2-amino-3-ketobutyrate-coenzyme A ligase) Gene

Also Known as Kbl

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 26912

Summary

Predicted to enable glycine C-acetyltransferase activity and pyridoxal phosphate binding activity. Predicted to be involved in biosynthetic process and threonine catabolic 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). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
