Primary Identifier | MGI:97722 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 69060 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables triglyceride lipase activity. Acts upstream of or within intestinal cholesterol absorption. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in pons and pons mantle layer. Orthologous to human PNLIP (pancreatic lipase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice show impaired dietary cholesterol, triglyceride and retinyl ester absorption, resistance to diet-induced obesity, and insulin resistance. [provided by MGI curators] |
