Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 64898 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables phosphatidate phosphatase activity and transcription coactivator activity. Involved in positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and triglyceride biosynthetic process. Located in cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in central nervous system; gonad; liver; lung; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in chronic recurrent multifocal osteomyelitis. Orthologous to human LPIN2 (lipin 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice develop ataxia, impaired blance, and tremors with age and show altered cerebellar phospholipid composition and anemia. Mice show diet-induced hepatic triglyceride accumulation. [provided by MGI curators] |
