Synonyms | C20orf48 |
Function | [Isoform 1]: Mitochondrial isoform that catalyzes the phosphorylation of pantothenate to generate 4'-phosphopantothenate in the first and rate-determining step of coenzyme A (CoA) synthesis (PubMed:15659606, PubMed:17825826, PubMed:17242360, PubMed:16272150). Required for angiogenic activity of umbilical vein of endothelial cells (HUVEC) (PubMed:30221726). |
Cellular Location | [Isoform 1]: Mitochondrion. Mitochondrion intermembrane space. Nucleus Note=Localizes predominantly to the mitochondria and to a lesser extent to the nucleus. Found in both the mitochondria and the nucleus throughout the cell cycle, with the exception of the G2/M phase when it is restricted to mitochdondria. [Isoform 3]: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12554685, ECO:0000305} |
Tissue Location | Expressed in the brain (at protein level) (PubMed:15659606, PubMed:17825826). Ubiquitous (PubMed:11479594) Highly expressed in the testis (PubMed:17825826). Expressed in the umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVEC) (PubMed:30221726) |

Background
Pantothenate kinase is an essential regulatory enzyme in CoA biosynthesis, catalyzing the cytosolic phosphorylation of pantothenate (vitamin B5), N-pantothenoylcysteine, and pantetheine. CoA is the major acyl carrier, playing a central role in intermediary and fatty acid metabolism. In both yeast and fly, each with only 1 pantothenate kinase gene, the null mutant is inviable. Mutations in PANK2 are the cause of pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN), formerly known as Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome (HSS). PKAN is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder associated with iron accumulation in the brain. Mutations in PANK2 are the cause of hypoprebetalipoproteinemia, acanthocytosis, retinitis pigmentosa, and pallidal degeneration (HARP).
