| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable benzodiazepine receptor binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and long-chain fatty acyl-CoA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including behavioral fear response; lateral ventricle development; and long-term synaptic potentiation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in brain and early conceptus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in alcohol dependence. Orthologous to human DBI (diazepam binding inhibitor, acyl-CoA binding protein). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit abnormal fur and skin morphology at P16 and impaired metabolic changes at weaning with reduced growth and hepatic cholesterol synthesis. Mice homozygous for a different knock-out allele complete exhibit embryonic lethality around implantation. [provided by MGI curators] |
