Mecr - mitochondrial trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductase

Predicted to enable nuclear receptor binding activity; signaling receptor binding activity; and trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductase (NADPH) activity. Predicted to be involved in fatty acid metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within fatty acid biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in submandibular gland primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dystonia. Orthologous to human MECR (mitochondrial trans-2-enoyl-CoA reductase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
