| Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 407243 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables plasmanylethanolamine desaturase activity. Involved in ether lipid biosynthetic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Orthologous to several human genes including PEDS1 (plasmanylethanolamine desaturase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele lack plasmanylethanolamine desaturase activity and show decreased body weight and severely reduced plasmalogen levels in all analyzed tissues.
