Official Symbol: oatr-1
Official Full Name: putative ornithine aminotransferase, mitochondrial
Primary source: WormBase:WBGene00015814
Locus tag: CELE_C16A3.10
See related: AllianceGenome:WB:WBGene00015814
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans (strain: Bristol N2)

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. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in hypodermis; intestine; nervous system; pharynx; and tail. Used to study amino acid metabolic disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in gyrate atrophy. Orthologous to human OAT (ornithine aminotransferase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]
