    Summary
    This gene encodes a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of oxaloacetate to phosphoenolpyruvate in the presence of guanosine triphosphate (GTP). A cytosolic form of this protein is encoded by a different gene and is the key enzyme of gluconeogenesis in the liver. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.

    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.

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (2) lacks multiple 3' coding exons and its 3' terminal exon extends past a splice site used in the variant 1, resulting in a different 3' coding region and 3' UTR, compared to variant 1. The encoded isoform (2) has a distinct C-terminus and is shorter than isoform 1.

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (4) differs in the 5' UTR and uses an alternate 5'-terminal exon, which results in use of a downstream in-frame start codon compared to variant 1. It encodes isoform 3, which has a shorter N-terminus than isoform 1. Variants 3 and 4 encode the same isoform.
