REREP3 Gene

arginine-glutamic acid dipeptide (RE) repeats pseudogene 3

TRNAE-UUC Gene

transfer RNA glutamic acid (anticodon UUC)

This record serves to anchor the annotations of this class of tRNAs at multiple locations on the human genome. The placements are predicted using tRNAscan-SE (Lowe, T.M. and Eddy, S.R. 1997. Nucleic Acids Res. 25:955-964, PubMed 9023104).

GPT Gene

glutamic-pyruvate transaminase (alanine aminotransferase)

This gene encodes cytosolic alanine aminotransaminase 1 (ALT1); also known as glutamate-pyruvate transaminase 1. This enzyme catalyzes the reversible transamination between alanine and 2-oxoglutarate to generate pyruvate and glutamate and, therefore, plays a key role in the intermediary metabolism of glucose and amino acids. Serum activity levels of this enzyme are routinely used as a biomarker of liver injury caused by drug toxicity, infection, alcohol, and steatosis. A related gene on chromosome 16 encodes a putative mitochondrial alanine aminotransaminase.[provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009]

GPT2 Gene

glutamic pyruvate transaminase (alanine aminotransferase) 2

This gene encodes a mitochondrial alanine transaminase, a pyridoxal enzyme that catalyzes the reversible transamination between alanine and 2-oxoglutarate to generate pyruvate and glutamate. Alanine transaminases play roles in gluconeogenesis and amino acid metabolism in many tissues including skeletal muscle, kidney, and liver. Activating transcription factor 4 upregulates this gene under metabolic stress conditions in hepatocyte cell lines. A loss of function mutation in this gene has been associated with developmental encephalopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]

TRNAE-CUC Gene

transfer RNA glutamic acid (anticodon CUC)

This record serves to anchor the annotations of this class of tRNAs at multiple locations on the human genome. The placements are predicted using tRNAscan-SE (Lowe, T.M. and Eddy, S.R. 1997. Nucleic Acids Res. 25:955-964, PubMed 9023104).

MGARP Gene

mitochondria-localized glutamic acid-rich protein

Predicted to be involved in several processes, including axonal transport; cellular response to gonadotropin-releasing hormone; and nervous system development. Located in mitochondrion. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

GOT1L1 Gene

glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 1-like 1

Predicted to enable L-aspartate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in aspartate biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

LOC100422628 Gene

glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 2, mitochondrial (aspartate aminotransferase 2) pseudogene

RERE Gene

arginine-glutamic acid dipeptide (RE) repeats

This gene encodes a member of the atrophin family of arginine-glutamic acid (RE) dipeptide repeat-containing proteins. The encoded protein co-localizes with a transcription factor in the nucleus, and its overexpression triggers apoptosis. A similar protein in mouse associates with histone deacetylase and is thought to function as a transcriptional co-repressor during embryonic development. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

LOC644924 Gene

glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 2, mitochondrial (aspartate aminotransferase 2) pseudogene

GOT2P2 Gene

glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 2 pseudogene 2

GOT2P3 Gene

glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 2 pseudogene 3

GOT2P1 Gene

glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 2 pseudogene 1

GOT2P4 Gene

glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 2 pseudogene 4

GOT2P5 Gene

glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 2 pseudogene 5

GOT2 Gene

glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 2, mitochondrial

Glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase is a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme which exists in cytoplasmic and inner-membrane mitochondrial forms, GOT1 and GOT2, respectively. GOT plays a role in amino acid metabolism and the urea and tricarboxylic acid cycles. The two enzymes are homodimeric and show close homology. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2013]

GOT1 Gene

glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 1, soluble

Glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase is a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent enzyme which exists in cytoplasmic and mitochondrial forms, GOT1 and GOT2, respectively. GOT plays a role in amino acid metabolism and the urea and tricarboxylic acid cycles. The two enzymes are homodimeric and show close homology. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
