Summary: Enables glycine hydroxymethyltransferase activity. Involved in regulation of mitochondrial translation; regulation of oxidative phosphorylation; and tetrahydrofolate interconversion. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including future brain; hepatic primordium; placenta; skeleton; and submandibular gland primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in neurodevelopmental disorder with cardiomyopathy, spasticity, and brain abnormalities. Orthologous to human SHMT2 (serine hydroxymethyltransferase 2).

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.
