Aspartate aminotransferase, cytoplasmic (GOT1)

Target (abbrv.) GOT1
Target (full name) Aspartate aminotransferase, cytoplasmic
Somalogic ID (Sequence ID) SL000280 (4912-17_1)
Entrez Gene Symbol GOT1
UniProt ID P17174
UniProt Comment
  • Biosynthesis of L-glutamate from L-aspartate or L-cysteine. Important regulator of levels of glutamate, the major excitatory neurotransmitter of the vertebrate central nervous system. Acts as a scavenger of glutamate in brain neuroprotection. The aspartate aminotransferase activity is involved in hepatic glucose synthesis during development and in adipocyte glyceroneogenesis. Using L-cysteine as substrate, regulates levels of mercaptopyruvate, an important source of hydrogen sulfide. Mercaptopyruvate is converted into H(2)S via the action of 3-mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase (3MST). Hydrogen sulfide is an important synaptic modulator and neuroprotectant in the brain.

Leucine carboxyl methyltransferase 1 (LCMT1)

Target (abbrv.) LCMT1
Target (full name) Leucine carboxyl methyltransferase 1
Somalogic ID (Sequence ID) SL011770 (4237-70_3)
Entrez Gene Symbol LCMT1
UniProt ID Q9UIC8
UniProt Comment
  • Methylates the carboxyl group of the C-terminal leucine residue of protein phosphatase 2A catalytic subunits to form alpha-leucine ester residues.

All locus annotations are based on the sentinel SNP (rs11292716).
However, the sentinel SNP is not contained in SNiPA's database (1000 Genomes Project, phase 3 version 5, European population). Thus, no information about linked genes or further functional annotation is available.
