Abstract excerpt
G41 is an interfacial residue located within the alpha-helix 34-42 of alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase (AGT). Its mutations on the major (AGT-Ma) or the minor (AGT-Mi) allele give rise to the variants G41R-Ma, G41R-Mi, and G41V-Ma causing hyperoxaluria type 1. Impairment of dimerization in these variants has been suggested to be responsible for immunoreactivity deficiency, intraperoxisomal aggregation, and...
