Primary Identifier | MGI:2147613 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 621603 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables aldehyde dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity. Predicted to be involved in aldehyde metabolic process. Located in lipid droplet. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; integumental system; limb; sensory organ; and tail. Orthologous to human ALDH3B2 (aldehyde dehydrogenase 3 family member B2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit postnatal lethality by P2 associated with impaired skin barrier function and reduced acylceramide levels. [provided by MGI curators] |
