| Primary Identifier | MGI:1915864 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 15 | NCBI Gene Number | 68614 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables molecular adaptor activity. Involved in mitochondrion organization and positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is active in nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; cranial ganglion; dorsal root ganglion; and retina. Orthologous to human LETMD1 (LETM1 domain containing 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit impaired adaptive thermogenesis, whitened brown adipose tissue morphology, and increased susceptibility to diet-induced obesity and metabolic dysfunction.
