Primary Identifier | MGI:1277169 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 52665 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables carboxy-lyase activity. Predicted to be involved in fatty acid beta-oxidation. Located in cytosol. Is expressed in ganglia; thymus primordium; and vibrissa. Orthologous to human ECHDC1 (ethylmalonyl-CoA decarboxylase 1). PHENOTYPE: Male mice homozygous for a knock-out allele show increased plasma levels of cholesterol and triglycerides, with a specific increase in LDL-C and triglycerides within the VLDL fractions.
