Phgdh Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including gamma-aminobutyric acid metabolic process; nervous system development; and proteinogenic amino acid metabolic process. Located in myelin sheath. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Neu-Laxova syndrome 1; PHGDH deficiency; and amino acid metabolic disorder. Orthologous to human PHGDH (phosphoglycerate dehydrogenase).

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Phgdh often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
