http://purl.uniprot.org/citations/25620171http://www.w3.org/2000/01/rdf-schema#comment"Alanine:glyoxylate aminotransferase 2 (AGXT2; EC 2.6.1.44) degrades asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), a competitive inhibitor of nitric oxide (NO) synthase. Increased ADMA, reduced NO, and hypertension are shown in Agxt2 knockout mice. There are four single nucleotide polymorphisms (rs37370, rs37369, rs180749, and rs16899974) with which AGXT2 activity changes in humans and may be related to vulnerability of vascular sclerosis. To examine the relationship between them, we studied the functional haplotypes of the AGXT2 gene and decided their relationship with arteriosclerotic changes via carotid intima-media thickness (carotid IMT) in Japanese subjects. Genotyping of those polymorphisms and the carotid IMT in 1,426 Japanese subjects were then evaluated. Subjects with C-A-A-A haplotype (rs37370, rs37369, rs180749, rs16899974) showed low AGXT2 activity (P<0.0001; Pearson’s correlation coefficients: 0.497). The C-A-A-A haplotype was significantly associated with mean carotid IMT (P=0.049) and max carotid IMT (P=0.004). Subjects with two C-A-A-A haplotypes exhibited thicker mean carotid IMT (P=0.022) and maximum carotid IMT (P=0.001). In multiple regression analysis, subjects with two C-A-A-A haplotypes were independently and positively associated with mean carotid IMT (P=0.02) and maximum IMT (P=0.005) after correction. There was a significant correlation between the functional variants in the AGXT2 gene and carotid IMT in Japanese. The AGXT2 genotype may be an important factor underlying atherosclerosis."xsd:string
