Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable guanidinoacetate N-methyltransferase activity and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including creatine biosynthetic process; regulation of growth; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in brain; future brain; hepatic primordium; liver; and pancreas. Used to study guanidinoacetate methyltransferase deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amino acid metabolic disorder and guanidinoacetate methyltransferase deficiency. Orthologous to human GAMT (guanidinoacetate N-methyltransferase).
