Summary: Predicted to enable L-alanine:2-oxoglutarate aminotransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in 2-oxoglutarate metabolic process; L-alanine metabolic process; and gluconeogenesis. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; musculature; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ.

The GPT2 gene demonstrates increasing expression in brain in the early postnatal period, and GPT2 protein localizes to mitochondria. Akin to the human phenotype, Gpt2-null mice exhibit reduced brain growth. Through metabolomics and direct isotope tracing experiments, we find a number of metabolic abnormalities associated with loss of Gpt2

Data suggest that Alt2/Gpt2 (but not Alt1/Gpt1) is induced in liver of obese mice (male ob/ob mice compared to lean C57BL/6J mice).

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.
