gldc-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable glycine binding activity; glycine dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) activity; and pyridoxal phosphate binding activity. Predicted to be involved in glycine decarboxylation via glycine cleavage system. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Predicted to be part of glycine cleavage complex. Expressed in head. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glycine encephalopathy and stomach cancer. Is an ortholog of human GLDC (glycine decarboxylase).
