GATM, the human ortholog of the mouse imprinted Gatm gene, escapes genomic imprinting in placenta
The GATM gene encodes L-arginine:glycine amidinotransferase, which catalyzes the conversion of L-arginine into guanidinoacetate, the rate-limiting step in the synthesis of creatine. Since, deficiencies in creatine synthesis and transport lead to certain forms of mental retardation in human, the huma...
