Record overview

MGPD IDMGP000024
Gene ID39
SpeciesHomo sapiens (Human)
Gene Nameacetyl-CoA acetyltransferase 2
Gene Symbol ACAT2
Alternate namesacetyl-CoA acetyltransferase, cytosolic; acetoacetyl Coenzyme A thiolase; acetyl-CoA transferase-like protein; cytosolic acetoacetyl-CoA thiolase;
Chromosome6
Map Location6q25.3
EC Number2.3.1.9
SummaryThe 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]
