Description

acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase 2

Protein class

Enzymes, Mapped to UniProt SWISS-PROT, Potential transmembrane proteins

Protein evidence

High

Entrez gene 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
