MBLAC2
Description
The MBLAC2 (metallo-beta-lactamase domain containing 2) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 5.
MBLAC2 is an enzyme involved in the hydrolysis of acyl-CoAs, a type of molecule that plays a role in lipid metabolism. Specifically, MBLAC2 breaks down acyl-CoAs into free fatty acids and coenzyme A (CoASH), which can affect the levels of these molecules within cells. MBLAC2 exhibits a preference for fatty acyl-CoAs with chain lengths of 12 to 18 carbons. Additionally, MBLAC2 possesses beta-lactamase activity, meaning it can hydrolyze certain antibiotics like penicillin G and nitrocefin. However, it does not show activity towards other beta-lactam antibiotics, such as cephalosporins and carbapenems.
MBLAC2 is also known as -.
