Gene information for DAOA (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID267012
Official gene symbolDAOA
Full nameD-amino acid oxidase activator
Aliases,G72,LG72,SG72,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a protein that is an activator of the FAD-dependent enzyme D-amino acid oxidase, which degrades the gliotransmitter D-serine, a potent activator of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) type glutamate receptors. Polymorphisms in this gene have been implicated in susceptibility to schizophrenia and bipolar affective disorder, possibly due to decreased levels of D-serine and decreased NMDA receptor functioning. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been identified. [provided by RefSeq]
