Primary Identifier | MGI:894291 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 216739 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables long-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase activity. Acts upstream of or within neuroblast proliferation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in heart; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in acute myeloid leukemia and leukemia. Orthologous to human ACSL6 (acyl-CoA synthetase long chain family member 6). PHENOTYPE: Knockout mice show altered or impaired lipogenesis and amino acid and nucleotide metabolism in the brain as well as changes to coordination and startle reflex. [provided by MGI curators] |
