Facts about Fructose-2,6-bisphosphatase TIGAR.
Contributes to the creation of reduced glutathione to create a decrease in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) content, correlating with its ability to protect cells from oxidative or metabolic stress-induced cell death (PubMed:16839880, PubMed:19713938, PubMed:23726973, PubMed:22887998, PubMed:23817040). Plays a role in promoting protection against cell death during hypoxia by decreasing mitochondria ROS levels in a HK2-dependent manner through a mechanism that is independent of its fructose-bisphosphatase action (PubMed:23185017).

Expressed in the brain (PubMed:22887998). Expressed in breast tumors (PubMed:21820150). Expressed in glioblastomas (PubMed:22887998).
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).
