Gk2 - glycerol kinase 2 Gene

Also Known as GKTA; Gk-rs2

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 14626

Summary

Predicted to enable glycerol kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including glycerol metabolic process; glycerol-3-phosphate biosynthetic process; and triglyceride metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Orthologous to human GK2 (glycerol kinase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
