(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4942
Official gene symbolOAT
Full nameornithine aminotransferase
Aliases,DKFZp781A11155,GACR,HOGA,OATASE,OKT,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes the mitochondrial enzyme ornithine aminotransferase, which is a key enzyme in the pathway that converts arginine and ornithine into the major excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA. Mutations that result in a deficiency of this enzyme cause the autosomal recessive eye disease Gyrate Atrophy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. Related pseudogenes have been defined on the X chromosome. [provided by RefSeq]
