Gldc - glycine decarboxylase

Predicted to enable anion binding activity; glycine dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including integumental system; limb; nervous system; sensory organ; and urinary system. Used to study glycine encephalopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glycine encephalopathy. Orthologous to human GLDC (glycine decarboxylase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
