Gene Symbol:

ACAT2 Homo sapiens

Full name:

acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase 2

Synonyms:

acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase, cytosolic, acetoacetyl Coenzyme A thiolase, acetyl-CoA transferase-like protein, cytosolic acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase

Genomic Location:

Chr 6: 160102979-160120077

Description:

The product of this gene is an enzyme involved in lipid metabolism, and it encodes cytosolic acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase. This gene shows complementary overlapping with the 3-prime region of the TCP1 gene in both mouse and human. These genes are encoded on opposite strands of DNA, as well as in opposite transcriptional orientation. Alternatively splic...

View Full Description

The product of this gene is an enzyme involved in lipid metabolism, and it encodes cytosolic acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase. This gene shows complementary overlapping with the 3-prime region of the TCP1 gene in both mouse and human. These genes are encoded on opposite strands of DNA, as well as in opposite transcriptional orientation. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
