Primary Identifier | MGI:1921455 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 74205 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable arachidonate-CoA ligase activity; protein domain specific binding activity; and protein kinase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including fatty acid metabolic process; positive regulation of phosphatidylcholine biosynthetic process; and positive regulation of transport. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum; lipid droplet; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in asthma; breast cancer; and prostate cancer. Orthologous to human ACSL3 (acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mice exhibit decreased blood percentages of CD4 T cells and B cells, and a decreased IgG1 response to ovalbumin. Male mutant mice exhibit growth retardation, reduced size and reduced total tissue and lean body mass. [provided by MGI curators] |
