Primary Identifier | MGI:1925528 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 70503 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables D-aspartate oxidase activity and FAD binding activity. Involved in D-amino acid catabolic process; nervous system process; and regulation of cell communication. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including aspartate metabolic process; grooming behavior; and insemination. Predicted to be located in cytosol and peroxisomal matrix. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; chordamesoderm; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human DDO (D-aspartate oxidase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice are viable and fertile, but can display impaired male copulation, decreased autogrooming, increased body weight, and increased D-aspartate levels, depending on the mutant allele.
