Gene information for MTX2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID10651
Official gene symbolMTX2
Full namemetaxin 2
Aliases,MGC111067,
Gene summaryThe protein encoded by this gene is highly similar to the metaxin 2 protein from mouse, which has been shown to interact with the mitochondrial membrane protein metaxin 1. Because of this similarity, it is thought that the encoded protein is peripherally associated with the cytosolic face of the outer mitochondrial membrane, and that it is involved in the import of proteins into the mitochondrion. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. A related pseudogene has been identified on chromosome 7. [provided by RefSeq]
