About ME1

Cytogenetic location: 6q14.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 6:83,210,402-83,431,051 (from NCBI)

This gene has 1 transcript (splice variant), 220 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Broad expression in fat (RPKM 29.4), adrenal (RPKM 23.1) and 21 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a cytosolic, NADP-dependent Enzyme that generates NADPH for fatty acid biosynthesis. The activity of this Enzyme, the reversible oxidative decarboxylation of malate, links the glycolytic and citric acid cycles. The regulation of expression for this gene is complex. Increased expression can result from elevated levels of thyroid Hormones or by higher proportions of carbohydrates in the diet. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
