Oxct2a Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables succinyl-CoA:3-oxo-acid CoA-transferase activity. Acts upstream of or within ketone body metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in amygdala and telencephalon mantle layer. Orthologous to human OXCT2 (3-oxoacid CoA-transferase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Oxct2a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
