Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 74182 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables glycerophosphocholine phosphodiesterase activity. Acts upstream of or within skeletal muscle tissue development. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in early conceptus; primary oocyte; secondary oocyte; and testis. Orthologous to human GPCPD1 (glycerophosphocholine phosphodiesterase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice with loss of expression in muscles display age-related impaired glucose tolerance, accumulation of glycerophosphocholine in muslces, and increased glucose uptake by muscles.
