Summary
Predicted to enable glycerol kinase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including glycerol metabolic process; glycerol-3-phosphate biosynthetic process; and triglyceride metabolic process. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial outer membrane. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Orthologous to human GK2 (glycerol kinase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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.
