Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables succinyl-CoA:3-oxo-acid CoA-transferase activity. Acts upstream of or within ketone body catabolic process and ketone catabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in foregut and heart. Orthologous to human OXCT1 (3-oxoacid CoA-transferase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit hyperketonemia, ketoacidosis, increased glucose oxidation in the brain, increased autophagy in the brain, and neonatal lethality.
