SZT2 SZT2 subunit of KICSTOR complex [Homo sapiens (human)] - Gene

Summary

Official Symbol: SZT2provided by HGNC
Official Full Name: SZT2 subunit of KICSTOR complexprovided by HGNC
Primary source: HGNC:HGNC:29040
See related: Ensembl:ENSG00000198198 MIM:615463; AllianceGenome:HGNC:29040
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo
Also known as: DEE18; KICS1; SZT2A; SZT2B; EIEE18; C1orf84; KIAA0467
Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is expressed in the brain, predominantly in the parietal and frontal cortex as well as in dorsal root ganglia. It is localized to the peroxisome, and is implicated in resistance to oxidative stress. It likely functions by increasing superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity, but itself has no direct SOD activity. Studies in mice show that this gene confers low seizure threshold, and may also enhance epileptogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2011]

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.
