Gene information for HAO2 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID51179
Official gene symbolHAO2
Full namehydroxyacid oxidase 2 (long chain)
Aliases,GIG16,HAOX2,
Gene summaryThis gene is one of three related genes that have 2-hydroxyacid oxidase activity yet differ in encoded protein amino acid sequence, tissue expression and substrate preference. Subcellular location of the encoded protein is the peroxisome. Specifically, this gene is expressed predominantly in liver and kidney and has the highest activity toward the substrate 2-hydroxypalmitate. Two alternatively spliced variants encoding the same isoform have been described. [provided by RefSeq]
