Hao2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable (S)-2-hydroxy-acid oxidase activity; FMN binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in fatty acid oxidation and mandelate metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; genitourinary system; and nervous system. Orthologous to human HAO2 (hydroxyacid oxidase 2).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Hao2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
