Primary Identifier | MGI:1914094 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 66844 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be involved in ceramide metabolic process; intracellular sphingolipid homeostasis; and sphingolipid biosynthetic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of ceramide biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be part of serine palmitoyltransferase complex. Orthologous to human ORMDL2 (ORMDL sphingolipid biosynthesis regulator 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit normal mast cell proliferation, degranulation, ceramide levels, and sphingosine levels, and response to passive cutaneous or systemic anaphylaxis.
