description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables fructose-2,6-bisphosphate 2-phosphatase activity. Involved in positive regulation of pentose-phosphate shunt and response to ischemia. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including fructose 2,6-bisphosphate metabolic process; negative regulation of catabolic process; and positive regulation of cardiac muscle cell apoptotic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; heart; immune system; and liver. Orthologous to human TIGAR (TP53 induced glycolysis regulatory phosphatase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit improved response to myocardial infarction associated with increased autophagy, mitophagy, levels of reactive oxygen species production and decreased mitochondria DNA damage. Mice homozygous for a different allele exhibit impaired crypt regeneration. [provided by MGI curators] |
