    text structure
  • six exons for the core protein preceded by a series of alternative exons, including only one 1C with an open reading frame in frame to exon 2
  • GC-rich PANK2 promoter that drives expression of the sPANK2 isoform, regulated by NFYA, NFYB, NFYC, FOXN4 and HNRNPAB
  • presence of an additional TATA-dependent PANK2 promoter would provide an intriguing mechanism for tissue specific expression of the pPANK2 isoform
  • promoter may be regulated by NFYA, NFYB, NFYC
  • MAPPING cloned Y linked N status provisional

    text
  • PANK2 short GFP in the cytoplasm only
  • PANK2 long GFP in the mitochondria and nucleus
  • basic FUNCTION
  • a mitochondrial enzyme that catalyses the first regulatory step of Coenzyme A synthesis
  • catalyzing the cytosolic phosphorylation of pantothenate (vitamin B5) and derivatives
  • essential regulatory enzyme in coenzyme A biosynthesis
  • plays a central role in phospholipid synthesis and membranogenesis
  • encodes a mitochondrial protein involved in Coenzyme A synthesis
  • PANK1 and PANK2 can compensate for each other to supply tissue CoA, but PANK1 is more important to CoA levels in liver whereas PANK2 contributes more to CoA synthesis in the brain
