Primary Identifier | MGI:2442948 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 319901 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables chondroitin-glucuronate 5-epimerase activity. Acts upstream of or within chondroitin sulfate metabolic process and dermatan sulfate metabolic process. Predicted to be located in membrane. Is expressed in eye. Orthologous to human DSEL (dermatan sulfate epimerase like). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit reduced epimerase activity in the skin, lung, liver, spleen, kidney and brain and reduced iduronic acid content in the brain and kidney chondroitin sulfate/dermatan sulfate.
