| Primary Identifier | MGI:105386 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 13171 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Predicted to enable acetyltransferase activity; lipoic acid binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in branched-chain amino acid catabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; integumental system; sensory organ; and urinary system. Used to study maple syrup urine disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in maple syrup urine disease. Orthologous to human DBT (dihydrolipoamide branched chain transacylase E2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in postnatal lethality, pallor, respiratory distress, and an increase in branched-chain amino acids in the blood and urine. Homozygotes model Maple Syrup Urine Disease. [provided by MGI curators] |
