Phosphatase Classification: Fold HP: Superfamily HP (histidine phosphatase): HP, branch1 family: Subfamily TIGAR

Vertebrate TIGAR functions as a fructose- 2,6-bisphosphatase, which results in an inhibition of glycolysis and an overall decrease in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. TIGAR is also found in some basal eumetazoan, but is absent from nematodes and arthropoda.

Evolution

TIGAR is also found in some basal eumetazoan, but is absent from nematodes and arthropoda.

Domain

TIGAR has a single domain: HP1 phosphatase.

Functions

TIGAR is fructose- 2,6-bisphosphatase [1, 2], the same function with PFKFB1 of PFKFB. (PS: functional redundancy?)
