Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.5.0)
Enables glycine N-methyltransferase activity and glycine binding activity. Involved in S-adenosylmethionine metabolic process and protein homotetramerization. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including glycogen metabolic process; one-carbon metabolic process; and regulation of gluconeogenesis. Predicted to be part of methyltransferase complex. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; integumental system; limb; sensory organ; and skeleton. Used to study glycine N-methyltransferase deficiency and hepatocellular carcinoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glycine N-methyltransferase deficiency. Orthologous to human GNMT (glycine N-methyltransferase).
