| Type: | Family | Name: | Glycine cleavage system H-protein, subgroup |
| Description: | This is a family of glycine cleavage H-proteins, part of the glycine cleavage multienzyme complex (GCV) found in bacteria and the mitochondria of eukaryotes. GCV catalyses the catabolism of glycine in eukaryotes. A lipoyl group is attached to a completely conserved lysine residue.The H protein shuttles the methylamine group of glycine from the P protein to the T protein [].This entry represents the glycine cleavage system H protein. The genome of Aquifex aeolicus contains one protein belonging to this group, and four more related proteins not included here; it seems doubtful that all of these homologues are authentic H proteins. The Chlamydial homologue of the H protein is nearly as divergent as the Aquifex outgroup, is not accompanied by P and T proteins, and is not included in this entry. | Short Name: | GCV_H_sub |
