Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 19210 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables L-serine-phosphatidylcholine phosphatidyltransferase activity and L-serine-phosphatidylethanolamine phosphatidyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in phosphatidylserine biosynthetic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Lenz-Majewski hyperostotic dwarfism. Orthologous to human PTDSS1 (phosphatidylserine synthase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit decreased phosphatidylethanolamine and phosphatidylserine levels in the liver but normal axon growth and life span. [provided by MGI curators] |
