Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable carnitine O-palmitoyltransferase activity. Involved in response to blue light. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in brown fat; cardiovascular system; early conceptus; and ovary. Orthologous to human CPT1B (carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1B). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice die in utero prior to E9.5. Heterozygous mutant mice exhibit susceptibility to fatal hypothermia following cold exposure, with females more severely affected.
