Hmgcs2

Enables hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA synthase activity. Predicted to be involved in acetyl-CoA metabolic process; farnesyl diphosphate biosynthetic process, mevalonate pathway; and ketone body biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; facial bone primordium; nervous system; and reproductive system. Used to study HMG-CoA synthase 2 deficiency. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in HMG-CoA synthase 2 deficiency. Orthologous to human HMGCS2 (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA synthase 2).

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 Hmgcs2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
