Summary: Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; ornithine aminotransferase activity; and pyridoxal phosphate binding activity. Predicted to be involved in arginine catabolic process to glutamate and arginine catabolic process to proline via ornithine. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial matrix and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in gyrate atrophy. Orthologous to human OAT (ornithine aminotransferase).

The portacaval shunt caused a marked decrease in glutamine synthetase activity and an increase in ornithine aminotransferase activity.

Almost all OAT protein was localized in cortical and medullary proximal straight tubules and in proximal straight tubule, Arginase II protein distribution overlapped that of OAT

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.
