Chromosome | 12 | NCBI Gene Number | 78920 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable dihydrolipoyllysine-residue succinyltransferase activity; heat shock protein binding activity; and protein-folding chaperone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in 2-oxoglutarate metabolic process; nucleoside phosphate metabolic process; and tricarboxylic acid cycle. Located in mitochondrion and myelin sheath. Part of oxoglutarate dehydrogenase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; metanephros; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease and paraganglioma. Orthologous to human DLST (dihydrolipoamide S-succinyltransferase). PHENOTYPE: Mice heterozygous for a gene trap allele exhibit an accelerates amyloid pathology and memory deficit in a transgenic mouse model of amyloid deposition. [provided by MGI curators] |
