Gene: AGMO
Alternate names for this Gene: TMEM195
Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is a tetrahydrobiopterin- and iron-dependent enzyme that cleaves the ether bond of alkylglycerols. Sequence comparisons distinguish this protein as forming a third, distinct class of tetrahydrobiopterin-dependent enzymes. Variations in this gene have been associated with decreased glucose-stimulated insulin response, type 2 diabetes, and susceptibility to intracranial aneurysms.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 7
Location in Chromosome : 7p21.2
Description of this Gene: alkylglycerol monooxygenase
Type of Gene: protein-coding
