| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables lipoate synthase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including lipoate biosynthetic process; neural tube closure; and response to lipopolysaccharide. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in alimentary system; liver; metanephros; salivary gland; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pyruvate decarboxylase deficiency. Orthologous to human LIAS (lipoic acid synthetase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trap allele die before weaning. Embryos homozygous for a null allele become growth arrested and die at E7.5-E9.5. Embryos homozygous for an ENU allele survive to E12.5 showing a growth delay, an open neural tube, microcephaly, dilated hearts and lack of dorsal forebrain. [provided by MGI curators] |
