Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables several functions, including histone deacetylase binding activity; peroxisome proliferator activated receptor binding activity; and phosphatidate phosphatase activity. Involved in several processes, including mitochondrial fission; positive regulation of metabolic process; and triglyceride metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to insulin stimulus; regulation of fat cell differentiation; and ruffle organization. Located in endoplasmic reticulum; mitochondrial outer membrane; and nuclear membrane. Part of transcription regulator complex. Is active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in liver; nervous system; olfactory epithelium; and tooth. Used to study lipodystrophy. Orthologous to human LPIN1 (lipin 1). PHENOTYPE: ENU-induced mutants show transient hindlimb paralysis, demyelination and myelin sheath defects. Spontaneous mutants show neonatal fatty liver and hypertriglyceridemia, runting, male sterility, peripheral neuropathy, and altered hair growth, myelination, adipogenesis and lipid and glucose metabolism.
