aldo-2 encodes a fructose-bisphosphate aldolase homologous to human ALDOB, which when mutated leads to fructosemia, hereditary fructose intolerance (OMIM:229600).
Predicted to enable fructose-bisphosphate aldolase activity. Predicted to be involved in fructose 1,6-bisphosphate metabolic process and glycolytic process. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be part of heterochromatin. Expressed in several structures, including hyp7 syncytium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autoimmune disease of the nervous system. Is an ortholog of human ALDOC (aldolase, fructose-bisphosphate C).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
