Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 4338
Gene name Molybdenum cofactor synthesis 2
Gene symbol MOCS2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
MCBPEMOCO1MOCODBMPTS
Chromosome 5
Chromosome location 5q11.2
Summary Eukaryotic molybdoenzymes use a unique molybdenum cofactor (MoCo) consisting of a pterin, termed molybdopterin, and the catalytically active metal molybdenum. MoCo is synthesized from precursor Z by the heterodimeric enzyme molybdopterin synthase. The lar
