Summary: Enables several functions, including L-aspartate:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase activity; anion binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including dicarboxylic acid metabolic process; lactation; and response to insulin. Located in several cellular components, including T-tubule; mitochondrial inner membrane; and perikaryon. Part of protein-containing complex. Biomarker of acute kidney failure; neurodegenerative disease; obesity; and schizophrenia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 82. Orthologous to human GOT2 (glutamic-oxaloacetic transaminase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
