Summary: Enables 4-aminobutyrate:2-oxoglutarate transaminase activity. Involved in several processes, including gamma-aminobutyric acid biosynthetic process; positive regulation of inhibitory postsynaptic potential; and regulation of secretion. Located in mitochondrial matrix. Used to study several diseases, including Huntington's disease; depressive disorder; epilepsy (multiple); heroin dependence; and ischemia. Biomarker of Parkinsonism. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; GABA aminotransferase deficiency; and Huntington's disease. Orthologous to human ABAT (4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
