Background
This gene is regulated as part of the p53 tumor suppressor pathway and encodes a protein with sequence similarity to the bisphosphate domain of the glycolytic enzyme that degrades fructose-2,6-bisphosphate. The protein functions by blocking glycolysis and directing the pathway into the pentose phosphate shunt. Expression of this protein also protects cells from DNA damaging reactive oxygen species and provides some protection from DNA damage-induced apoptosis. The 12p13.32 region that includes this gene is paralogous to the 11q13.3 region. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],
Function
catalytic activity:Beta-D-fructose 2,6-bisphosphate + H(2)O = D-fructose 6-phosphate + phosphate.,caution:Not expected to have any kinase activity.,function:Probable fructose-biphosphatase. Lowers cellular levels of fructose 2,6-bisphosphate. Protects cells against reactive oxygen species and against apoptosis induced by tp53.,induction:Rapidly up-regulated by TP53.,PTM:Phosphorylated upon DNA damage, probably by ATM or ATR.,similarity:Belongs to the phosphoglycerate mutase family.,
Protein name
Fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase TIGAR (EC 3.1.3.46) (TP53-induced glycolysis and apoptosis regulator)
Fields

Cellular localization
Cytoplasm . Nucleus . Mitochondrion . Translocated to the mitochondria during hypoxia in a HIF1A-dependent manner (PubMed:23185017). Colocalizes with HK2 in the mitochondria during hypoxia (PubMed:23185017). Translocated to the nucleus during hypoxia and/or genome stress-induced DNA damage responses in cancer cells (PubMed:25928429). Translocation to the mitochondria is enhanced in ischemic cortex after reperfusion and/or during oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD)/reoxygenation insult in primary neurons (By similarity). .
Tissue expression
Expressed in the brain (PubMed:22887998). Expressed in breast tumors (PubMed:21820150). Expressed in glioblastomas (PubMed:22887998).
