Primary Identifier | MGI:103206 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 16365 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables aconitate decarboxylase activity and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to cytokine stimulus; regulation of defense response; and regulation of gene expression. Acts upstream of or within response to lipopolysaccharide. Located in mitochondrion. Orthologous to human ACOD1 (aconitate decarboxylase 1). PHENOTYPE: LPS-stimulated bone marrow macrophages derived from homozygous null mice fail to produce itaconate and exhibit significantly decreased succinate accumulation. [provided by MGI curators] |
