Primary Identifier | MGI:97770 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 19125 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable FAD binding activity; amino acid binding activity; and proline dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in proline catabolic process to glutamate and regulation of oxidative stress-induced neuron intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including adipose tissue; cardiovascular system; central nervous system; forelimb bud; and male reproductive gland or organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amino acid metabolic disorder; hyperprolinemia type 1; and schizophrenia 4. Orthologous to human PRODH (proline dehydrogenase 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a spontaneous null mutation exhibit a slight reduction in male body weight, hyperprolinemia, increased startle reflex, and regionally altered brain levels of proline, glutamate, gamma-aminobutyric acid, and aspartate.
