GLDC wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human GLDC wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 9p24.1 and is approximately 113 kb in length. This allele, which encodes glycine dehydrogenase (decarboxylating), mitochondrial protein, plays a role in the degradation of glycine. Mutations in the gene are associated with glycine encephalopathy 1.
