HMGCS2 - 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2 Gene
Species: Homo sapiens
About HMGCS2
This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 127 orthologues, 1 paralogue and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Biased expression in liver (RPKM 471.6), colon (RPKM 127.8) and 5 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the HMG-CoA synthase family. It is a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the first reaction of ketogenesis, a metabolic pathway that provides lipid-derived energy for various organs during times of carbohydrate deprivation, such as fasting. Mutations in this gene are associated with HMG-CoA synthase deficiency. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
