Primary Identifier | MGI:88529 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 12974 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables 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 active in mitochondrial matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Orthologous to human CS (citrate synthase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a point mutation exhibit hearing loss. [provided by MGI curators] |
