Primary Identifier | MGI:1919161 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 71911 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable 3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase activity and phospholipid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in steroid metabolic process. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human BDH1 (3-hydroxybutyrate dehydrogenase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a conditional allele activated in cardiac cells exhibit partial postnatal lethality and increased heart failure following fasting or TAC/MI. [provided by MGI curators] |
