Gene summaryThe enzyme system for cleavage of glycine (glycine cleavage system; EC 2.1.2.10), which is confined to the mitochondria, is composed of 4 protein components: P protein (a pyridoxal phosphate-dependent glycine decarboxylase; GLDC, MIM 238300), H protein (a lipoic acid-containing protein; GCSH, MIM 238330), T protein (a tetrahydrofolate-requiring enzyme), and L protein (a lipoamide dehydrogenase; DLD, MIM 238331). Mutations in the T, P, and H proteins have been found to cause glycine encephalopathy (GCE; MIM 605899).[supplied by OMIM]
