Gene information for Mocs2 (Mus musculus)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID17434
Official gene symbolMocs2
Full namemolybdenum cofactor synthesis 2
AliasesAI415403
Gene summaryEukaryotic molybdoenzymes use a unique molybdenum cofactor (MoCo) consisting of a pterin, termed molybdopterin, and the catalytically active metal molybdenum. MoCo is synthesized from precursor Z by the heterodimeric enzyme molybdopterin synthase. The large and small subunits of molybdopterin synthase are both encoded from this gene by overlapping open reading frames. The proteins were initially thought to be encoded from a bicistronic transcript. Based on experiments with the human molybdopterin synthase ortholog, they are now thought to be encoded from monocistronic transcripts. Alternatively spliced transcripts have been found for this locus that encode the large and small subunits. [provided by RefSeq]
