Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 14598 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable glutathione hydrolase activity; leukotriene-C(4) hydrolase; and peptidyltransferase activity. Involved in several processes, including cysteine biosynthetic process; glutathione biosynthetic process; and regulation of inflammatory response. Acts upstream of or within spermatogenesis. Located in vesicle. Is expressed in genitourinary system; liver; and yolk sac. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase deficiency. Orthologous to several human genes including GGT1 (gamma-glutamyltransferase 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutants may exhibit impaired growth, skeletal abnormalities, cataracts, lethargic behavior, premature greying, sterility, and shortened life span. [provided by MGI curators] |
