Primary Identifier | MGI:96010 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 15109 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables histidine ammonia-lyase activity. Acts upstream of or within L-histidine catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in alimentary system and liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in histidinemia. Orthologous to human HAL (histidine ammonia-lyase). PHENOTYPE: Mutations in this gene cause elevated histidine levels. [provided by MGI curators] |
