Gcsh Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables aminomethyltransferase activity and enzyme binding activity. Involved in glycine decarboxylation via glycine cleavage system. Predicted to be part of glycine cleavage complex. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in multiple mitochondrial dysfunctions syndrome. Orthologous to human GCSH (glycine cleavage system protein H).

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 rat Gcsh often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
