Structural highlights
Disease
GCST_HUMAN Defects in AMT are a cause of non-ketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH) [MIM:605899; also known as glycine encephalopathy (GCE). NKH is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by accumulation of a large amount of glycine in body fluid and by severe neurological symptoms.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]
Function
GCST_HUMAN The glycine cleavage system catalyzes the degradation of glycine.
