General annotation (Comments)

Function

The glycine cleavage system catalyzes the degradation of glycine. The H protein shuttles the methylamine group of glycine from the P protein to the T protein.

Cofactor

Binds 1 lipoyl cofactor covalently.

Subunit structure

The glycine cleavage system is composed of four proteins: P, T, L and H.

Subcellular location

Mitochondrion.

Involvement in disease

Defects in GCSH are a cause of non-ketotic hyperglycinemia (NKH) [MIM:605899]; also known as glycine encephalopathy (GCE). NKH is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by accumulation of a large amount of glycine in body fluid and by severe neurological symptoms.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the GcvH family.

Contains 1 lipoyl-binding domain.
