Other Information

**Key characteristics:** * GCSH is a protein with a molecular weight of approximately 130 kDa. * It is found in the mitochondria of eukaryotic cells. * It is a member of the glycine cleavage complex, a multi-subunit protein complex that is responsible for the initial cleavage of glycine. * It is also involved in the glycine degradation pathway, which is a complex process that involves the breakdown of glycine to produce energy and building blocks for other cellular processes. **Pathways and functions:** * The GCSH protein is involved in several important pathways, including: * Aminomethyltransferase activity: GCSH is a key enzyme in the formation of taurine, an essential metabolite for many cellular processes. * Cytoplasm: GCSH is present in the cytoplasm of eukaryotic cells, where it is involved in the metabolism of various substrates. * Glycine catabolic process: GCSH is one of the enzymes that catalyzes the cleavage of glycine to produce pyruvate and carbon dioxide. * Glycine degradation: GCSH is also involved in the degradation of glycine to produce pyruvate and carbon dioxide. * Glyoxylate metabolism: GCSH is involved in the metabolism of glycine and other substrates to produce pyruvate and carbon dioxide. **Clinical significance:** Mutations in the GCSH gene have been linked to several human diseases, including: * Glycine transporter deficiency: This genetic disorder is caused by mutations in the GGT1 gene, which is a protein that is required for the transport of glycine in the blood. People with GGT1 deficiency have high levels of glycine in their blood, which can lead to a variety of health problems. * Mitochondrial disorders: Mutations in the GCSH gene have also been linked to mitochondrial disorders, such as Leigh syndrome and lactic acidosis. In these disorders, GCSH is not able to function properly, which leads to the accumulation of glycine in the mitochondria and other tissues.
