Primary Identifier | MGI:1860776 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 218865 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable choline dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in glycine betaine biosynthetic process from choline. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; integumental system; reproductive system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human CHDH (choline dehydrogenase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous male mutants show reduced fertility due to reduced sperm motility caused by abnormal mitochondrial function and structures.
