Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 14194 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables fumarate hydratase activity. Involved in several processes, including carboxylic acid metabolic process; positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis; and tricarboxylic acid cycle. Acts upstream of or within homeostasis of number of cells within a tissue. Located in mitochondrion. Is active in mitochondrial matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in fumarase deficiency and lung non-small cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human FH (fumarate hydratase). PHENOTYPE: Embryos homozygous for a knock-out allele fail to develop past the egg-cylinder stage and die at E6.0. [provided by MGI curators] |
