    Summary
    Enables (R)-3-amino-2-methylpropionate-pyruvate transaminase activity; alanine-glyoxylate transaminase activity; and beta-alanine:pyruvate transaminase activity. Involved in N(omega),N(omega)-dimethyl-L-arginine catabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in artery disease (multiple); atrial fibrillation; cerebral infarction; congestive heart failure; and mild cognitive impairment. Orthologous to human AGXT2 (alanine--glyoxylate aminotransferase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
