Protein name

RecName: Full=Probable aminomethyltransferase; EC=2.1.2.10; AltName: Full=Glycine cleavage system T protein;

Gene name

gcvT

FUNCTION: The glycine cleavage system catalyzes the degradation of glycine (By similarity).

CATALYTIC ACTIVITY: [Protein]-S(8)-aminomethyldihydrolipoyllysine + tetrahydrofolate = [protein]-dihydrolipoyllysine + 5,10-methylenetetrahydrofolate + NH(3).

SUBUNIT: The glycine cleavage system is composed of four proteins: P, T, L and H (By similarity).

SIMILARITY: Belongs to the GcvT family.
