Gene ID: 39

About ACAT2

Cytogenetic location: 6q25.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 6:159,762,045-159,779,112 (from NCBI)

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 214 orthologues, 4 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Ubiquitous expression in liver (RPKM 42.3), brain (RPKM 30.7) and 24 other tissues.

Summary

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. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2014]
