Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 227683 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to be involved in ubiquinone biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; colon; gonad; heart; and lung. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary coenzyme Q10 deficiency 7 and spastic ataxia. Orthologous to human COQ4 (coenzyme Q4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit defects in chorion formation and placentation, abnormal trophoblast layer morphology, and complete lethality throughout fetal growth and development.
