Components
| Name | EC number | Function |
|---|---|---|
| T-protein (GCST or AMT) | EC 2.1.2.10 | aminomethyltransferase |
| P-protein (GLDC) | EC 1.4.4.2 | glycine dehydrogenase (decarboxylating) or just glycine dehydrogenase. |
| L-protein (GCSL or DLD) | EC 1.8.1.4 | known by many names, but most commonly dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase |
| H-protein (GCSH) | is modified with lipoic acid and interacts with all other components in a cycle of reductive methylamination (catalysed by the P-protein), methylamine transfer (catalysed by the T-protein) and electron transfer (catalysed by the L-protein). |

Famous quotes containing the word components:
“Hence, a generative grammar must be a system of rules that can iterate to generate an indefinitely large number of structures. This system of rules can be analyzed into the three major components of a generative grammar: the syntactic, phonological, and semantic components.”
—Noam Chomsky (b. 1928)
