Summary: Predicted to enable glycine amidinotransferase activity. Involved in positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including extraembryonic component; foregut; genitourinary system; limb; and musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in AGAT deficiency and Fanconi renotubular syndrome 1. Orthologous to human GATM (glycine amidinotransferase).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
