| Primary Identifier | MGI:103151 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 18830 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables lipid transfer activity. Acts upstream of or within flagellated sperm motility and vitamin E biosynthetic process. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including bone marrow; central nervous system; genitourinary system; humerus cartilage condensation; and oral region epithelium. Used to study dry eye syndrome. Orthologous to human PLTP (phospholipid transfer protein). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene have lower levels of circulating HDL and exhibit symptoms of dry eye syndrome such as corneal epithelial damage. [provided by MGI curators] |
