OAT, Recombinant, Human (Ornithine Aminotransferase Precursor, Enzyme, DKFZp781A11155, HOGA, OATAS

OAT, also known as mitochondrial enzyme ornithine aminotransferase, is a key enzyme in the pathway that converts arginine and ornithine into the major excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters glutamate and GABA. ( L-ornithine + a 2-oxo acid = L-glutamate 5-semialdehyde + an L-amino acid.) Mutations that result in a deficiency of this enzyme cause the autosomal recessive eye disease Gyrate Atrophy. Recombinant protein corresponding to aa33-439 from human OAT expressed in E. coli.
