{"symbol":"GPD2","synonyms":["MGPDH","GPDM"],"name":"glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 2 (mitochondrial)","description":"The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the inner mitochondrial membrane and catalyzes the conversion of glycerol-3-phosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate, using FAD as a cofactor. Along with GDP1, the encoded protein constitutes the glycerol phosphate shuttle, which reoxidizes NADH formed during glycolysis. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2010]","ncbiEntrezGeneId":2820,"ncbiEntrezGeneUrl":"http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/2820","proteins":[{"symbol":"GPDM_HUMAN","href":"/api/1.0/protein/GPDM_HUMAN"}],"hgncRootFamilies":[{"name":"EF-hand domain containing","href":"/api/1.0/gene_family/EF-hand+domain+containing"}]}
