Rattus norvegicus
Gene ID: 299857 | Gene type: protein coding

About Shmt2

Summary

Enables several functions, including L-allo-threonine aldolase activity; glycine hydroxymethyltransferase activity; and pyridoxal phosphate binding activity. Involved in L-serine biosynthetic process; glycine biosynthetic process from serine; and positive regulation of cell population proliferation. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane; mitochondrial intermembrane space; and mitochondrial matrix. Orthologous to human SHMT2 (serine hydroxymethyltransferase 2).
