Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including C4-dicarboxylate transmembrane transporter activity; GDP binding activity; and inorganic anion transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to lead ion; liver regeneration; and negative regulation of insulin secretion involved in cellular response to glucose stimulus. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial membrane. Used to study hypertension; metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease; transient cerebral ischemia; and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Biomarker of congestive heart failure; hypothyroidism; obstructive jaundice; steatotic liver disease (multiple); and type 2 diabetes mellitus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in carotid artery disease; diabetic neuropathy; end stage renal disease; hypertension; and obesity. Orthologous to human UCP2 (uncoupling protein 2).

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.
