Protein-coding gene in the species Homo sapiens
Mitochondrial carrier homolog 2 also known as MTCH2 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the MTCH2 gene.[ 5] [ 6] [ 7] [ 8]
MTCH2 resides on the outer mitochondrial membrane where it co-localizes with the apoptotic Bcl-2 family protein BID .[ 9]
Clinical significance MTCH2 assists in the recruitment of BID into the mitochondria during apoptosis.[ 9]
Variants of the MTCH2 gene may be associated with obesity .[ 10] [ 9]
