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] Expression Ubiquitous expression in colon (RPKM 11.8), brain (RPKM 10.3) and 25 other tissues See more Orthologs mouse all
