Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables 3-hydroxyanthranilate 3,4-dioxygenase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including carboxylic acid metabolic process; response to cadmium ion; and response to zinc ion. Predicted to be located in cytosol and mitochondrial membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in ductus deferens; epididymis; esophagus; metanephros; and testis. Orthologous to human HAAO (3-hydroxyanthranilate 3,4-dioxygenase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit reduced LPS-induced depressive behaviors and altered kynurenine metabolism. [provided by MGI curators] |
