Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 100163 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable 1-alkyl-2-acetylglycerophosphocholine esterase activity and platelet-activating factor acetyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of apoptotic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within lipid catabolic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and membrane. Is expressed in alimentary system; nervous system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human PAFAH2 (platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit increased sensitivity to hepatic injury. [provided by MGI curators] |
