Mouse model studies of obesity-accelerated breast cancer show that this enzyme and creatine biosynthesis in adipocytes are essential to breast cancer progression driven by obesity (2). In addition, synthesis of creatine by GATM or dietary uptake of creatine promotes tumor metastasis in an orthotopic mouse model (3). Moreover, GATM expression increases in metastases of various cancers, such as colorectal cancer and melanoma (3). Furthermore, creatine plays a role in neurons and its function requires GATM and SLC6A8, a creatine transporter (4).\n\u003cb\u003eAlternate Names\u003c\/b\u003e\nAGAT; AT; CCDS3; FRTS1; GATM; glycine amidinotransferase; glycine amidinotransferase (L-arginine:glycine amidinotransferase); Glycine amidinotransferase, mitochondrial; L-arginine:glycine amidinotransferase; testicular secretory protein Li 19; Transamidinase\n\n\u003cb\u003eSpecification\u003c\/b\u003e\n\nREACTIVITY: H\nSENSITIVITY: Endogenous\nMW (kDa): 48\nSource\/Isotype: Rabbit IgG","brand":"CST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46798057210025,"sku":"28825S","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/products\/cst-28825s","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
