Primary Identifier | MGI:104888 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 110196 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable dimethylallyltranstransferase activity and geranyltranstransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in farnesyl diphosphate biosynthetic process; positive regulation of cell growth involved in cardiac muscle cell development; and positive regulation of cholesterol biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in porokeratosis. Orthologous to human FDPS (farnesyl diphosphate synthase). PHENOTYPE: Mice with cardiac-specific conditional deletion exhibit cardiac remodeling and dysfunction and death by 4 months of age. [provided by MGI curators] |
