Asphd2, whose specific function and common aliases are not detailed in the provided references, is potentially involved in metabolism and viral replication cycles pathways. Genes like ASPHD2 were found to be regulated in monkeypox virus (MPV)-infected HeLa cells at 2-hour incubation, suggesting its possible role in MPV-related biological processes [1]. Additionally, in the context of melioidosis, a diagnostic 6-mRNA signature including Asphd2 was identified, which could potentially distinguish Burkholderia pseudomallei-caused sepsis from sepsis caused by other organisms, indicating its significance in host-pathogen interaction and disease diagnosis [2].

No information regarding KO/CKO mouse models or other loss-of-function experiments was provided in the references.

In summary, Asphd2 appears to be associated with monkeypox-related biological processes and could potentially serve as a biomarker for diagnosing septicaemic melioidosis. Although the exact functions of Asphd2 remain to be further explored through in-vivo studies such as gene knockout models, its potential importance in disease-related pathways is emerging from current research.
