======= AGXT2 =======
== Gene Information ==
* **Official Symbol**: AGXT2
* **Official Name**: alanine--glyoxylate aminotransferase 2
* **Aliases and Previous Symbols**: N/A
* **Entrez ID**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/?term=64902|64902]]
* **UniProt**: [[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/Q9BYV1|Q9BYV1]]
* **Interactions**: [[https://thebiogrid.org/search.php?search=AGXT2&organism=9606|BioGRID]]
* **PubMed articles**: [[https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/?term=gene%20AGXT2|Open PubMed]]
* **OMIM**: [[https://omim.org/entry/612471|Open OMIM]]
== Function Summary ==
* **Entrez Summary**: N/A
* **UniProt Summary**: Can metabolize asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) via transamination to alpha-keto-delta-(NN-dimethylguanidino) valeric acid (DMGV). ADMA is a potent inhibitor of nitric-oxide (NO) synthase, and this activity provides mechanism through which the kidney regulates blood pressure. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20018850, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23023372, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24586340}.
