Entrez ID 189
Gene name Alanine--glyoxylate aminotransferase
Gene symbol AGXT
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
AGTAGT1AGXT1PH1SPATSPTSer-PyrATTLH6
Chromosome 2
Chromosome location 2q37.3
Summary This gene is expressed only in the liver and the encoded protein is localized mostly in the peroxisomes, where it is involved in glyoxylate detoxification. Mutations in this gene, some of which alter subcellular targetting, have been associated with type
