oatr-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; ornithine-oxo-acid transaminase 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 cytoplasm. Expressed in tail. Used to study amino acid metabolic disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in gyrate atrophy. Is an ortholog of human OAT (ornithine aminotransferase).
