Primary Identifier | MGI:1913362 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 66112 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable molybdenum ion binding activity; molybdopterin cofactor binding activity; and oxidoreductase activity, acting on other nitrogenous compounds as donors. Predicted to contribute to nitrite reductase (NO-forming) activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular detoxification of nitrogen compound; nitrate metabolic process; and nitric oxide biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrion. Orthologous to human MTARC1 (mitochondrial amidoxime reducing component 1). PHENOTYPE: Male mice homozygous for a null allele show reduced liver triglyceride and phospholipids levels but do not show a hepatoprotective effect when challenged with NAFLD-causing diets.
