Oat - ornithine aminotransferase

Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; pyridoxal phosphate binding activity; and transaminase activity. Predicted to be involved in arginine catabolic process to glutamate and arginine catabolic process to proline via ornithine. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; integumental system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study gyrate atrophy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in gyrate atrophy. Orthologous to human OAT (ornithine aminotransferase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
