About ME2

Cytogenetic location: 18q21.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 18:50,879,118-50,954,257 (from NCBI)

This gene has 19 transcripts (splice variants), 212 orthologues and 2 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in duodenum (RPKM 15.0), colon (RPKM 14.1) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This 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, Dec 2009]
