Tigar Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable fructose-2,6-bisphosphate 2-phosphatase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to cobalt ion; regulation of phosphate metabolic process; and response to ischemia. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including fructose 2,6-bisphosphate metabolic process; negative regulation of metabolic process; and positive regulation of cardiac muscle cell apoptotic process. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial outer membrane and nucleus. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Orthologous to human TIGAR (TP53 induced glycolysis regulatory phosphatase).

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