Gene information for HAO1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID54363
Official gene symbolHAO1
Full namehydroxyacid oxidase (glycolate oxidase) 1
Aliases,GOX,GOX1,HAOX1,MGC142225,MGC142227,
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 primarily in liver and pancreas and the encoded protein is most active on glycolate, a two-carbon substrate. The protein is also active on 2-hydroxy fatty acids. The transcript detected at high levels in pancreas may represent an alternatively spliced form or the use of a multiple near-consensus upstream polyadenylation site. [provided by RefSeq]
