Primary Identifier | MGI:99476 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 193742 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables monoacylglycerol lipase activity and phospholipase activity. Involved in monoacylglycerol catabolic process; phosphatidylserine catabolic process; and prostaglandin catabolic process. Predicted to be located in membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary spastic paraplegia 86. Orthologous to human ABHD16A (abhydrolase domain containing 16A, phospholipase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit partial prenatal lethality, decreased body size and weight, and decreased brain lysophosphatidylserines. Macrophages display a reduction in lysophosphatidylserines and LPS-induced cytokine production. [provided by MGI curators] |
