AGXT2

The human AGXT2 gene encodes the protein Alanine—glyoxylate aminotransferase 2. [1]

Function

The protein encoded by this gene is a class III pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent mitochondrial aminotransferase. It catalyzes the conversion of glyoxylate to glycine using L-alanine as the amino donor.[2]

gollark: What?
gollark: Does anyone know where SquidDev's recipe dump mod is to be found?
gollark: * the entire API
gollark: If you don't want to cover the API, I'm pretty sure it's a fairly simple websocket/HTTP interface like SPUDNET.
gollark: This is actually multiple chests.
