Alanine-Glyoxylate Aminotransferase

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein|Enzyme

**Definition:** Alanine-glyoxylate aminotransferase (392 aa, ~43 kDa) is encoded by the human AGXT gene. This protein plays a role in the reversible transamination of glyoxylate to glycine and L-serine to pyruvate.
