Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the aconitase/IPM isomerase family. It is an enzyme that catalyzes the interconversion of citrate to isocitrate via cis-aconitate in the second step of the TCA cycle. This protein is encoded in the nucleus and functions in the mitochondrion. It was found to be one of the mitochondrial matrix proteins that are preferentially degraded by the serine protease 15(PRSS15), also known as Lon protease, after oxidative modification.

Study showed that the expression of ACO2 was significantly increased in prostate cancer (PC) tissues and identified a positive correlation between ACO2 expression and the malignancy of prostate cancer. ACO2 protein expression and activity was higher in paclitaxel-resistant PC3 cells than in PTX-sensitive DU145 cells. These results indicate that ACO2 plays an important role in the development and drug resistance of PC.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
