GLYCTK
Chr 3ARglycerate kinase
Also known as: HBEBP2, HBEBP4, HBeAgBP4A
The encoded enzyme catalyzes the phosphorylation of (R)-glycerate and is involved in serine degradation and fructose metabolism. Mutations cause D-glyceric aciduria, a metabolic disorder inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. The condition results from decreased activity of this glycerate kinase enzyme.
Moderate evidence — consider for supplementary testing
Population Genetics & Constraint
gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance
Highly tolerant — LoF variants common in population
Tolerant to missense variation
The highest-scoring mechanism for this gene is dominant-negative.
Note: In-silico variant effect predictors (SIFT, PolyPhen, REVEL, CADD) may underestimate pathogenicity of missense variants in genes with GOF or DN mechanisms. Consider functional evidence and clinical context.
