Primary Identifier | MGI:88222 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 12257 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables transmembrane transporter binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of metabolic process; positive regulation of reactive oxygen species metabolic process; and protein localization to mitochondrion. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; hemolymphoid system; reproductive system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human TSPO (translocator protein). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a conditional allele activated in the male reproductive system exhibit normal testicular development, reproduction and testosterone production.
