AOMS1 Gene

Abdominal obesity-metabolic syndrome QTL1

AOMS2 Gene

abdominal obesity-metabolic syndrome QTL2

ASMER1 Gene

adipocyte associated metabolic related lncRNA 1

AGXT Gene

alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase

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 I primary hyperoxaluria. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

AGXT2 Gene

alanine--glyoxylate aminotransferase 2

The protein encoded by this gene is a class III pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent mitochondrial aminotransferase. It catalyzes the conversion of glyoxylate to glycine using L-alanine as the amino donor. It is an important regulator of methylarginines and is involved in the control of blood pressure in kidney. Polymorphisms in this gene affect methylarginine and beta-aminoisobutyrate metabolism, and are associated with carotid atherosclerosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

LOC100421569 Gene

glyoxylate reductase 1 homolog (Arabidopsis) pseudogene

GLYR1 Gene

glyoxylate reductase 1 homolog (Arabidopsis)

Enables several functions, including chromatin-protein adaptor activity; methylated histone binding activity; and nucleosome binding activity. Involved in transcription elongation-coupled chromatin remodeling and transcription initiation-coupled chromatin remodeling. Located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Part of nucleosome. Is active in chromatin. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

GRHPR Gene

glyoxylate reductase/hydroxypyruvate reductase

This gene encodes an enzyme with hydroxypyruvate reductase, glyoxylate reductase, and D-glycerate dehydrogenase enzymatic activities. The enzyme has widespread tissue expression and has a role in metabolism. Type II hyperoxaluria is caused by mutations in this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
