Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 71365 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables protein heterodimerization activity. Contributes to all-trans-nonaprenyl-diphosphate synthase (geranyl-diphosphate specific) activity. Involved in cerebellum development; isoprenoid biosynthetic process; and ubiquinone biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within regulation of body fluid levels. Located in mitochondrion. Part of heterotetrameric polyprenyl diphosphate synthase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including endocrine gland; genitourinary system; heart; nervous system; and stomach. Used to study coenzyme Q10 deficiency disease. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary coenzyme Q10 deficiency 3. Orthologous to human PDSS2 (decaprenyl diphosphate synthase subunit 2). PHENOTYPE: Mutations in this gene result in renal abnormalities leading to early death. [provided by MGI curators] |
