Disease

MORC2_HUMAN The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Function

MORC2_HUMAN Exhibits a cytosolic function in lipogenesis, adipogenic differentiation, and lipid homeostasis by increasing the activity of ACLY, possibly preventing its dephosphorylation (PubMed:24286864). May act as a transcriptional repressor (PubMed:20225202). Down-regulates CA9 expression (PubMed:20110259).^[1] ^[2] ^[3]
