Literature on AGXT2
AGXT2 [ENSP00000231420]
Alanine--glyoxylate aminotransferase 2, mitochondrial; 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; Belongs to the class-III pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.
Synonyms: AGXT2, AGXT2p, hAGXT2, Q9BYV1, Q9BYV1p ...
