Lipoic acid synthetase is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LIAS gene. [5]

Contents

Function

The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the biotin and lipoic acid synthetases family. It localizes in mitochondrion and plays an important role in alpha-(+)-lipoic acid synthesis. It may also function in the sulfur insertion chemistry in lipoate biosynthesis. Alternative splicing occurs at this locus and two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">GCSH</span> Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens

Glycine cleavage system H protein, mitochondrial is a protein that in humans is encoded by the GCSH gene. Degradation of glycine is brought about by the glycine cleavage system (GCS), which is composed of 4 protein components: P protein, H protein, T protein, and L protein. The H protein shuttles the methylamine group of glycine from the P protein to the T protein. The protein encoded by GCSH gene is the H protein, which transfers the methylamine group of glycine from the P protein to the T protein. Defects in this gene are a cause of nonketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH). Two transcript variants, one protein-coding and the other probably not protein-coding, have been found for this gene. Also, several transcribed and non-transcribed pseudogenes of this gene exist throughout the genome.
