Comments [?]

Function The glycine cleavage system catalyzes the degradation of glycine.
Catalytic activity RHEA:16945: (6S)-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate + (R)-N(6)-(S(8)-aminomethyldihydrolipoyl)-L-lysyl-[protein] = (6R)-5,10-methylene-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolate + (R)-N(6)-dihydrolipoyl-L-lysyl-[protein] + NH4(+)
EC 2.1.2.10
Subunit The glycine cleavage system is composed of four proteins: P, T, L and H.
Similarity Belongs to the GcvT family.
