| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable long-chain-alcohol O-fatty-acyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in lipid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Orthologous to human AWAT1 (acyl-CoA wax alcohol acyltransferase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit dry eyes associated with clogged meibomian gland orifice, reduced tear breakup time, and reduced production of (O-acyl)-omega-hydroxy fatty acids and tri-unsaturated species of 1 omega wax diesters.
