Background
ornithine aminotransferase(OAT) Homo sapiens This gene encodes the mitochondrial enzyme ornithine aminotransferase, which is a key enzyme in the pathway that converts arginine and ornithine into the major excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA. Mutations that result in a deficiency of this enzyme cause the autosomal recessive eye disease Gyrate Atrophy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. Related pseudogenes have been defined on the X chromosome. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010],
Function
catalytic activity:L-ornithine + a 2-oxo acid = L-glutamate 5-semialdehyde + an L-amino acid.,cofactor:Pyridoxal phosphate.,disease:Defects in OAT are the cause of hyperornithinemia with gyrate atrophy of choroid and retina (HOGA) [MIM:258870]. HOGA is a slowly progressive blinding autosomal recessive disorder.,pathway:Amino-acid biosynthesis; L-proline biosynthesis; L-glutamate 5-semialdehyde from L-ornithine: step 1/1.,similarity:Belongs to the class-III pyridoxal-phosphate-dependent aminotransferase family.,subunit:Homotetramer.,
