| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (quinone) activity. Involved in glycerophosphate shuttle. Acts upstream of or within camera-type eye development; gluconeogenesis; and glycerol-3-phosphate metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is active in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study citrullinemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in type 2 diabetes mellitus. Orthologous to human GPD2 (glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations exhibit diminished hepatic ATP levels, decreased adiposity and fasting blood glucose, and, on an inbred background, reductions in preweaning viability and fertility.
