Primary Identifier | MGI:1915988 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 68738 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables acetate-CoA ligase activity and propionate-CoA ligase activity. Acts upstream of or within acetyl-CoA biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrial matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ACSS1 (acyl-CoA synthetase short chain family member 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice with disruptions in this gene display abnormalities in acetate metabolism. Ability to maintain body temperature under fasting conditions is reduced. [provided by MGI curators] |
