Summary
Predicted to enable guanidinoacetate N-methyltransferase activity and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including creatine biosynthetic process; regulation of growth; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in brain; future brain; hepatic primordium; liver; and pancreas. Used to study guanidinoacetate methyltransferase deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amino acid metabolic disorder and guanidinoacetate methyltransferase deficiency. Orthologous to human GAMT (guanidinoacetate N-methyltransferase).

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.

mRNA and Protein(s)
