Primary Identifier | MGI:2444680 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 216188 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables formyltetrahydrofolate dehydrogenase activity. Involved in 10-formyltetrahydrofolate catabolic process; NADPH regeneration; and folic acid metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within with a positive effect on fatty acid beta-oxidation. Located in mitochondrion. Used to study metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. Orthologous to human ALDH1L2 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 1 family member L2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous knockout affects liver metabolism in male mice, leading to fatty livers. [provided by MGI curators] |
