Small volumes of GAMT recombinant protein vial(s) may occasionally become entrapped in the seal of the product vial during shipment and storage. If necessary, briefly centrifuge the vial on a tabletop centrifuge to dislodge any liquid in the container`s cap. Certain products may require to ship with dry ice and additional dry ice fee may apply.

Guanidinoacetate N-methyltransferase isoform a, also known as GAMT is a methyltansferase that converts guanidoacetate to creatine, using S-adenosylmethionine as the methyl domor. This enzyme participates in the two-step synthesis of the compound creatine from the protein building blocks glycine, arginine, and methionine. It is involved in providing energy for muscle contraction, and is also important in nervous system functioning. Also GAMT is active in the liver, pancreas, and kidneys. Recombinant human GAMT, fused to His-tag at N-terminus, was expressed in E Coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.

Guanidinoacetate N-methyltransferase

The protein encoded by this gene is a methyltransferase that converts guanidoacetate to creatine, using S-adenosylmethionine as the methyl donor. Defects in this gene have been implicated in neurologic syndromes and muscular hypotonia, probably due to creatine deficiency and accumulation of guanidinoacetate in the brain of affected individuals. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 2 and 13. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012]

Converts guanidinoacetate to creatine, using S-adenosylmethionine as the methyl donor (PubMed:26003046, PubMed:24415674, PubMed:26319512). Important in nervous system development (PubMed:24415674).
