Enables alanine-glyoxylate transaminase activity. Involved in glycine biosynthetic process, by transamination of glyoxylate. Located in mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary hyperoxaluria type 1. Is an ortholog of human AGXT (alanine--glyoxylate aminotransferase).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
