Full name: aldolase, fructose-bisphosphate C

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: ALDC

Summary: This gene encodes a member of the class I fructose-biphosphate aldolase gene family. Expressed specifically in the hippocampus and Purkinje cells of the brain, the encoded protein is a glycolytic enzyme that catalyzes the reversible aldol cleavage of fructose-1,6-biphosphate and fructose 1-phosphate to dihydroxyacetone phosphate and either glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate or glyceraldehyde, respectively.

Expression: Biased expression in brain (RPKM 270.0), fat (RPKM 67.7) and 5 other tissues

Gene size: 3776bp

Exon count: 10
