UniProt Synonym Protein Names
Glycine cleavage system P protein; Glycine decarboxylase; Glycine dehydrogenase (aminomethyl-transferring)
UniProt Primary Accession #

UniProt Comments
The glycine cleavage system catalyzes the degradation of glycine. The P protein binds the alpha-amino group of glycine through its pyridoxal phosphate cofactor; CO2 is released and the remaining methylamine moiety is then transferred to the lipoamide cofactor of the H protein.
