Gene information for GAMT (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2593
Official gene symbolGAMT
Full nameguanidinoacetate N-methyltransferase
Aliases,PIG2,TP53I2,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is a methyltransferase that converts guanidoacetate to creatine, using S-adenosylmethionine as the methyl donor. Defects in this gene have been implicated in neurologic syndromes and muscular hypotonia, probably due to creatine deficiency and accumulation of guanidinoacetate in the brain of affected individuals. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
