| Primary Identifier | MGI:1917086 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 69836 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable calcium ion binding activity and phospholipase A2 activity. Acts upstream of or within cholesterol homeostasis; low-density lipoprotein particle remodeling; and triglyceride homeostasis. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Is expressed in alimentary system; liver; liver lobe; and yolk sac endoderm. Orthologous to human PLA2G12B (phospholipase A2 group XIIB). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for an ENU-induced mutation exhibit a reduction in serum total and HDL cholesterol levels, decreased serum triglyceride levels, and hepatic steatosis.
