| Primary Identifier | MGI:1345140 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 23801 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables hepoxilin A3 synthase activity. Involved in several processes, including establishment of skin barrier; long-chain fatty acid metabolic process; and peroxisome proliferator activated receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and membrane. Is expressed in epidermis and skin. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 1 and autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis 3. Orthologous to human ALOXE3 (arachidonate epidermal lipoxygenase 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit complete neonatal lethality, imapired skin barrier function, dehydration, tightly packed stratum corneum, impaired stratum corneum desquamation and reduced levels of ester-bound ceramide in the epidermis.
