Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 71939 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable lipid binding activity. Orthologous to human APOL6 (apolipoprotein L6). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit decreased white adipose tissue mass, reduced white fat cell size, enhanced lipolysis, and resistance to diet-induced obesity with improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity and less adipose inflammation after high-fat diet feeding.
