Primary Identifier | MGI:1916177 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 68927 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within several processes, including liver development; regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and ventricular cardiac muscle tissue morphogenesis. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in central nervous system and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PTCD2 (pentatricopeptide repeat domain 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trapped allele exhibit abnormal mitochondrial morphology and physiology, especially in the heart, liver, skeletal muscle and kidney. [provided by MGI curators] |
