Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 2628
Gene name Glycine amidinotransferase
Gene symbol GATM
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
AGATATCCDS3FRTSFRTS1RFS
Chromosome 15
Chromosome location 15q21.1
Summary This gene encodes a mitochondrial enzyme that belongs to the amidinotransferase family. This enzyme is involved in creatine biosynthesis, whereby it catalyzes the transfer of a guanido group from L-arginine to glycine, resulting in guanidinoacetic acid, t
