TMLHE trimethyllysine hydroxylase, epsilon

Gene ID: 55217, updated on 17-Jun-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: TMLD; TMLH; BBOX2; AUTSX6; TMLHED; XAP130

Summary

This 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.[provided by RefSeq, May 2010]
