Primary Identifier | MGI:1919082 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 71832 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable citrate (Si)-synthase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including acetyl-CoA metabolic process; carboxylic acid metabolic process; and tricarboxylic acid cycle. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Orthologous to human CS (citrate synthase). PHENOTYPE: Male mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are initially fertile but show an age-dependent decline in fertility and a delay in the first spike of Ca2+ oscillation during egg activation.
