Primary Identifier | MGI:2442495 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 319660 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables glyceryl-ether monooxygenase activity. Involved in triglyceride biosynthetic process. Is active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Orthologous to human AGMO (alkylglycerol monooxygenase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele lack alkylglycerol monooxygenase activity but exhibit no overt phenotype under standard housing conditions. Male mice show reduced circulating cholesterol levels and modest increases only in plasmanyl and plasmenyl ether lipids. [provided by MGI curators] |
