Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 16204 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable fatty acid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in fatty acid transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within bile acid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and membrane. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; corpus striatum; femur; genitourinary system; and liver and biliary system. Orthologous to human FABP6 (fatty acid binding protein 6). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit sex-specific altered bile acid absorption and transport. [provided by MGI curators] |
