| Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 17527 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable channel activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to reactive oxygen species; glomerular basement membrane development; and regulation of mitochondrial DNA metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within reactive oxygen species metabolic process and sensory perception of sound. Located in mitochondrion and peroxisome. Used to study autosomal recessive Alport syndrome; mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 3; and nephrotic syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2EE and mitochondrial DNA depletion syndrome 6. Orthologous to human MPV17 (mitochondrial inner membrane protein MPV17). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for mutations in this gene develop symptoms of kidney failure similar to focal segmental glomerulosclerosis due to depletion of mitochondrial content. Inner ear degeneration is also seen. [provided by MGI curators] |
