Gene Symbol | LACTB |
Entrez Gene ID | 114294 |
Full Name | lactamase beta |

Gene Type | protein-coding |
Organism | Homo sapiens(human) |

Summary | This gene encodes a mitochondrially-localized protein that has sequence similarity to prokaryotic beta-lactamases. Many of the residues responsible for beta-lactamase activity are not conserved in this protein, suggesting it may have a different enzymatic function. Increased expression of the related mouse gene was found to be associated with obesity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different protein isoforms.
