Also known as AGT2
Summary
AGXT2 (alanine–glyoxylate aminotransferase 2, HGNC:14412) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 5p13.2, encoding Alanine–glyoxylate aminotransferase 2, mitochondrial (Q9BYV1). Multifunctional aminotransferase with a broad substrate specificity.
The protein encoded by this gene is a class III pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent mitochondrial aminotransferase. It catalyzes the conversion of glyoxylate to glycine using L-alanine as the amino donor. It is an important regulator of methylarginines and is involved in the control of blood pressure in kidney. Polymorphisms in this gene affect methylarginine and beta-aminoisobutyrate metabolism, and are associated with carotid atherosclerosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Function. Multifunctional aminotransferase with a broad substrate specificity. Catalyzes the conversion of glyoxylate to glycine using alanine as the amino donor. Catalyzes metabolism of not L- but the D-isomer of D-beta-aminoisobutyric acid to generate 2-methyl-3-oxopropanoate and alanine. Catalyzes the transfer of the amino group from beta-alanine to pyruvate to yield L-alanine and 3-oxopropanoate. Can metabolize NG-monomethyl-L-arginine (NMMA), asymmetric NG,NG-dimethyl-L-arginine (ADMA) and symmetric NG,N’G-dimethyl-L-arginine (SDMA). ADMA is a potent inhibitor of nitric-oxide (NO) synthase, and this activity provides mechanism through which the kidney regulates blood pressure.
Subunit / interactions. Homotetramer.
Subcellular location. Mitochondrion.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in the convoluted tubule in the kidney and in the liver hepatocytes (at protein level).
Polymorphism. Genetic variants in AGXT2 are association with beta-aminoisobutyric aciduria (BAIBA)[MIM:210100]. Excretion of beta-aminoisobutyric acid in urine is a common, benign, metabolic trait.
Similarity. Belongs to the class-III pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.
