Jump to navigation Jump to search

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]
