Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 26458 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables long-chain fatty acid transmembrane transporter activity; long-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase activity; and very long-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase activity. Acts upstream of or within fatty acid transport; long-chain fatty acid metabolic process; and very long-chain fatty acid catabolic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum; peroxisome; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; liver; lung; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SLC27A2 (solute carrier family 27 member 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutant mice are viable and show no gross morphological abnormalities. [provided by MGI curators] |
