The protein encoded by this gene is the P protein, which binds to glycine and enables the methylamine group from glycine to be transferred to the T protein. Defects in this gene are a cause of nonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH).[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]. * **UniProt Summary**: The glycine cleavage system catalyzes the degradation of glycine. The P protein (GLDC) binds the alpha-amino group of glycine through its pyridoxal phosphate cofactor; CO(2) is released and the remaining methylamine moiety is then transferred to the lipoamide cofactor of the H protein (GCSH). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1993704, ECO:0000269|PubMed:1996985, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28244183}. |GDC-P| |Beta elim lyase| |pyridoxal binding| |glycine dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) activity| |response to lipoic acid| |response to methylamine| |glycine cleavage complex| |glycine decarboxylation via glycine cleavage system| |glycine catabolic process| |lyase activity| |glycine binding| |serine family amino acid catabolic process| |glycine metabolic process| |neurotransmitter catabolic process| |serine family amino acid metabolic process| |response to amine| |pyridoxal phosphate binding| |electron transfer activity| |response to fatty acid| |neurotransmitter metabolic process| |cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor| |response to leukemia inhibitory factor| |alpha-amino acid catabolic process| |cellular amino acid catabolic process| |drug catabolic process| |electron transport chain| |response to ammonium ion| |alpha-amino acid metabolic process| |carboxylic acid catabolic process| |organic acid catabolic process| |cellular amino acid metabolic process| |response to acid chemical| |enzyme binding| |regulation of neurotransmitter levels| |mitochondrial matrix| |generation of precursor metabolites and energy| |small molecule catabolic process| |drug metabolic process| |response to lipid| |protein homodimerization activity| |carboxylic acid metabolic process| |response to organic cyclic compound| |oxidation-reduction process| |response to organonitrogen compound| |oxoacid metabolic process| |cellular response to cytokine stimulus| |organic acid metabolic process| |organonitrogen compound catabolic process| |response to nitrogen compound| |response to cytokine| |mitochondrion| |response to oxygen-containing compound| |small molecule metabolic process| |organic substance catabolic process| |cellular catabolic process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
