Primary Identifier | MGI:1929882 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 57344 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable arsenite methyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in arsonoacetate metabolic process; methylation; and toxin metabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within response to arsenic-containing substance. Located in mitochondrion. Orthologous to human AS3MT (arsenite methyltransferase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele have abnormalities in arsenic methylation and in the distribution/retention of orally administered arsenate. [provided by MGI curators] |
