Primary Identifier | MGI:2443868 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 16 | NCBI Gene Number | 320355 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable heparin binding activity and phospholipase activity. Predicted to be involved in lipid catabolic process. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in mandible and maxilla. Orthologous to human LIPI (lipase I). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a transgenic gene disruption exhibit postnatal lethality, tremors, abnormal gait, decreased body weight, retarded hair growth, and a defect in triglyceride metabolism resulting in hypertriglyceridemia and hepatic steatosis.
