Gene information for TMLHE (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID55217
Official gene symbolTMLHE
Full nametrimethyllysine hydroxylase, epsilon
Aliases,BBOX2,FLJ10727,TMLH,XAP130,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes the protein trimethyllysine dioxygenase which is the first enzyme in the carnitine biosynthesis pathway. Carnitine play an essential role in the transport of activated fatty acids across the inner mitochondrial membrane. The encoded protein converts trimethyllysine into hydroxytrimethyllysine. A pseudogene of this gene is found on chromosome X. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
