Pank2 - pantothenate kinase 2 Gene

Predicted to enable pantothenate kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in angiogenesis; coenzyme A biosynthetic process; and regulation of lipid metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including mitochondrion morphogenesis; regulation of mitochondrial membrane potential; and spermatid development. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial intermembrane space. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration. Orthologous to human PANK2 (pantothenate kinase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
