About GLDC

Cytogenetic location: 9p24.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 9:6,532,467-6,645,729 (from NCBI)

This gene has 22 transcripts (splice variants), 214 orthologues and is associated with 5 phenotypes. Biased expression in kidney (RPKM 25.8), placenta (RPKM 17.4) and 4 other tissues.

Summary

Degradation of glycine is brought about by the glycine cleavage system, which is composed of four mitochondrial protein components: P protein (a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent glycine decarboxylase), H protein (a lipoic acid-containing protein), T protein (a tetrahydrofolate-requiring enzyme), and L protein (a lipoamide dehydrogenase). The protein encoded by this gene is the P protein, which binds to glycine and enables the methylamine group from glycine to be transferred to the T protein. Defects in this gene are a cause of nonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH).[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]
