PIG2, TP53I2, GAMT, Guanidinoacetate N-methyltransferase.

GAMT is a methyltransferase that transfers guanidoacetate to creatine, using S-adenosylmethionine as the methyl donor. Defects GAMT gene result in neurologic syndromes and muscular hypotonia, probably due to creatine deficiency and accumulation of guanidinoacetate in the brain of affected individuals. GAMT take parts in the two-step synthesis of creatine from the protein building blocks glycine, arginine, and methionine. GAMT takes part in supplying the energy for muscle contraction, and is in addition a significant player in nervous system functioning. GAMT is active in the liver, pancreas, and kidne.

Recombinant Human GAMT produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 256 amino acids (1-236 a.a) and having a molecular mass of 28.4 kDa. GAMT is fused to a 20 amino acids His-Tag at N-terminus and purified by conventional chromatography techniques.
