Primary Identifier | MGI:1349467 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 26874 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP binding activity; ATP hydrolysis activity; and protein dimerization activity. Involved in several processes, including fatty acid catabolic process; negative regulation of biosynthetic process; and positive regulation of fatty acid metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within response to bacterium. Located in peroxisome. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; hemolymphoid system; limb; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ABCD2 (ATP binding cassette subfamily D member 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a disruption in this gene exhibit a late-onset cerebellar and sensory ataxia, loss of Purkinje cells, dorsal root ganglia cell degeneration, axonal degeneration in the spinal cord, and an accumulation of very long chain fatty acids.
