Primary Identifier | MGI:2145373 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 328258 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable transmembrane transporter activity. Located in mitochondrion. Orthologous to human SLC25A48 (solute carrier family 25 member 48). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele show impaired cold tolerance and brown adipose tissue (BAT) thermogenesis, altered mitochondrial ultrastructure and membrane lipid species, attenuated respiratory capacity, increased oxidative stress and hydrogen peroxide production in BAT-derived mitochondria, increased serum levels of choline, and reduced serum levels of choline-derived metabolites.
