QuickView for OXCT2 (gene)
- Gene Symbol:
- OXCT2
Homo sapiens - Full name:
- 3-oxoacid CoA-transferase 2
- Synonyms:
- FKSG25, SCOTT, succinyl-CoA:3-ketoacid coenzyme A transferase 2, mitochondrial, 3-oxoacid CoA-transferase 2A, testis-specific succinyl CoA:3-oxoacid CoA-transferase
- Genomic Location:
- Chr 1: 40007784-40009607
- Description:
-
The protein encoded by this gene catalyzes the transfer of a CoA group from succinate to acetoacetate and is an important enzyme in ketone body catabolism. The encoded protein localizes to the mitochondrion. This gene is intronless, and a pseudogene of this gene is located elsewhere on chromosome 1.
