Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables glycine hydroxymethyltransferase activity. Involved in regulation of mitochondrial translation; regulation of oxidative phosphorylation; and tetrahydrofolate interconversion. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including future brain; hepatic primordium; placenta; skeleton; and submandibular gland primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in neurodevelopmental disorder with cardiomyopathy, spasticity, and brain abnormalities. Orthologous to human SHMT2 (serine hydroxymethyltransferase 2).
