| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables diacylglycerol binding activity and triglyceride binding activity. Involved in several processes, including intracellular triglyceride homeostasis; lipid droplet formation; and positive regulation of sequestering of triglyceride. Acts upstream of or within sequestering of triglyceride. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and integumental system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Siddiqi syndrome. Orthologous to human FITM2 (fat storage inducing transmembrane protein 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout is embryonic lethal, while heterozygous KO increases survival after and reduces susceptibility to pressure overload-induced heart failure. [provided by MGI curators] |
