Description

ornithine aminotransferase

Gene Summary

Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; ornithine aminotransferase activity; and pyridoxal phosphate binding activity. Predicted to be involved in L-arginine catabolic process to L-glutamate and L-arginine catabolic process to proline via ornithine. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; integumental system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study gyrate atrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in gyrate atrophy. Orthologous to human OAT (ornithine aminotransferase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
