Primary Identifier | MGI:2679699 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 546726 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable retinoic acid 4-hydroxylase activity and retinoic acid binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including anterior/posterior pattern specification; neural crest cell development; and organelle fusion. Predicted to be located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; branchial arch; epibranchial placode; future hindbrain; and inner ear. Orthologous to human CYP26C1 (cytochrome P450 family 26 subfamily C member 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable and exhibit normal CNS development with no apparent anatomical defects. [provided by MGI curators] |
