GNMT - Gnmt glycine N-methyltransferase Gene

Rattus norvegicus
Gene ID: 25134 | Gene type: protein coding

About GNMT

Summary

Enables several functions, including S-adenosyl-L-methionine binding activity; carboxylic acid binding activity; and glycine N-methyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including S-adenosylmethionine metabolic process; alpha-amino acid metabolic process; and protein homotetramerization. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Part of methyltransferase complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glycine N-methyltransferase deficiency. Orthologous to human GNMT (glycine N-methyltransferase).
