Also known as IGRP
Summary
G6PC2 (glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit 2, HGNC:28906) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 2q31.1, encoding Glucose-6-phosphatase 2 (Q9NQR9). May hydrolyze glucose-6-phosphate to glucose in the endoplasmic reticulum.
This gene encodes an enzyme belonging to the glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit family. These enzymes are part of a multicomponent integral membrane system that catalyzes the hydrolysis of glucose-6-phosphate, the terminal step in gluconeogenic and glycogenolytic pathways, allowing the release of glucose into the bloodstream. The family member encoded by this gene is found in pancreatic islets and does not exhibit phosphohydrolase activity, but it is a major target of cell-mediated autoimmunity in diabetes. Several alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been described, but their biological validity has not been determined.

- Study showed that SNPs from GCK, G6PC2 and MTNR1B modulated the fasting glucose levels in the normoglycaemic population while SNPs from G6PC2 and GCKR was associated with type 2 diabetes. (PMID:20668700)
- The effects of hyperglycemia on insulin secretion override the more subtle effects of genetic variation in the G6PC2 locus on insulin secretion. (PMID:20826583)
- Children and adolescents carrying glucose-raising alleles of G6PC2, MTNR1B, GCK, and GLIS3 also showed reduced beta-cell function, as indicated by homeostasis model assessment of beta-cell function. (PMID:21515849)

- one of the newly identified spontaneously reactive epitopes (P8 [IGRP(55-72)]) is highly conserved between mice and man, suggesting that it might also be a target of HLA-DQ8-restricted T cells in diabetic human subjects (PMID:22983906)
- polymorphisms in the G6PC2 gene contribute to the association with higher fasting plasma glucose levels (PMID:23508304)

Alternative names: Islet-specific glucose-6-phosphatase catalytic subunit-related protein
All UniProt accessions (2): Q9NQR9, C9IYU7
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. May hydrolyze glucose-6-phosphate to glucose in the endoplasmic reticulum. May be responsible for glucose production through glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis.
Subcellular location. Endoplasmic reticulum membrane.
Tissue specificity. Specifically expressed in pancreas and also detected to a lower extent in testis. Expressed by most islet cells in the pancreas (at protein level).
Post-translational modifications. N-glycosylated; the non-glycosylated form is more unstable and is degraded through the proteasome.
Pathway. Carbohydrate biosynthesis; gluconeogenesis.
Polymorphism. Genetic variations in G6PC2 define the fasting plasma glucose levels quantitative trait locus 1 (FGQTL1) [MIM:612108]. The normal fasting plasma glucose level in the plasma is defined as less than 100 mg per deciliter (5.55 mmol per liter). Higher fasting plasma glucose levels predict type 2 diabetes in young adults and increases the risk of mortality.
Similarity. Belongs to the glucose-6-phosphatase family.
