Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 51102
Gene name Mitochondrial trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductase
Gene symbol MECR
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
CGI-63DYTOABGETR1FASN2BNRBF1OPA16
Chromosome 1
Chromosome location 1p35.3
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is an oxidoreductase that catalyzes the last step in mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis. Defects in this gene are a cause of childhood-onset dystonia and optic atrophy. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017]

Protein name Enoyl-[acyl-carrier-protein] reductase, mitochondrial (EC 1.3.1.104) (2-enoyl thioester reductase) (Nuclear receptor-binding factor 1) (HsNrbf-1) (NRBF-1)
Protein function Catalyzes the NADPH-dependent reduction of trans-2-enoyl thioesters in mitochondrial fatty acid synthesis (fatty acid synthesis type II). Fatty acid chain elongation in mitochondria uses acyl carrier protein (ACP) as an acyl group carrier, but t
