Background： This gene encodes a protein belonging to the pantothenate kinase family and is the only member of that family to be expressed in mitochondria. Pantothenate kinase is a key regulatory enzyme in the biosynthesis of coenzyme A (CoA) in bacteria and mammalian cells. It catalyzes the first committed step in the universal biosynthetic pathway leading to CoA and is itself subject to regulation through feedback inhibition by acyl CoA species. Mutations in this gene are associated with HARP syndrome and pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN), formerly Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome. Alternative splicing, involving the use of alternate first exons, results in multiple transcripts encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],

Function：catalytic activity:ATP + (R)-pantothenate = ADP + (R)-4'-phosphopantothenate.,caution:In addition to the presence of a second start site in position 124, it is not excluded that the Leu-111 may exceptionally also serve as an alternative initiation codon.,disease:Defects in PANK2 are the cause of hypoprebetalipoproteinemia, acanthocytosis, retinitis pigmentosa, and pallidal degeneration (HARP) [MIM:607236]. HARP is a rare syndrome with many clinical similarities to PKAN.,disease:Defects in PANK2 are the cause of pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) [MIM:234200]; formerly known as Hallervorden-Spatz syndrome (HSS). PKAN is an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder associated with iron accumulation in the brain. Clinical features include extrapyramidal dysfunction, and a relentlessly progressive course. Atypical PKAN is diagnosed in individuals who may not fit wit

Subcellular Location：[Isoform 1]: Mitochondrion . Mitochondrion intermembrane space . Nucleus . 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 2]: Cytoplasm .; [Isoform 3]: Cytoplasm .; [Isoform 4]: Cytoplasm .
