Primary Identifier | MGI:1342248 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 20524 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable nucleobase-containing compound transmembrane transporter activity and protein-folding chaperone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in fatty acid beta-oxidation; fatty acid transport; and nucleobase-containing compound transport. Located in peroxisomal membrane. Is expressed in embryo. Orthologous to human SLC25A17 (solute carrier family 25 member 17). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit background sensitive prenatal lethality and phytol-diet induced enlarged liver, hepatic steatosis, and liver apoptosis, and inflammation.
