Gene information for ME2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID4200
Official gene symbolME2
Full namemalic enzyme 2, NAD(+)-dependent, mitochondrial
Aliases,ODS1,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a mitochondrial NAD-dependent malic enzyme, a homotetrameric protein, that catalyzes the oxidative decarboxylation of malate to pyruvate. It had previously been weakly linked to a syndrome known as Friedreich ataxia that has since been shown to be the result of mutation in a completely different gene. Certain single-nucleotide polymorphism haplotypes of this gene have been shown to increase the risk for idiopathic generalized epilepsy. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
