Background: | In the creatine biosynthesis pathway, glycine is converted to guanidinoacetate by amidinotransferase, and guanidinoacetate is then converted to creatine by Guanidinoacetate N-methyltransferase (GAMT). GAMT, a methyltransferase, uses S-adenosylmethionine as the methyl donor for this reaction. Methyltransferases are a type of transferase enzyme which transfers a methyl group to nucleic bases in DNA or amino acids in protein. Encoding a 236 amino acid protein, the human GAMT gene maps to chromosome 19p13.3. Defects in the GAMT gene leads to GAMT deficiency, which is associated with guanidinoacetate accumulation and decreased levels of creatine excretion in brain. Such biochemical changes are thought to lead to various neurological syndromes and muscular hypotonia. |
