Primary Identifier | MGI:1338882 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 18632 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in peroxisome fission; regulation of peroxisome size; and signal transduction. Located in mitochondrion. Used to study Zellweger syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in peroxisome biogenesis disorder 14B. Orthologous to human PEX11B (peroxisomal biogenesis factor 11 beta). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene die within the first day of life. Various abnormalities develop as a result of peroxisomal abnormalities. The condition is similar to Zellweger Syndrome. [provided by MGI curators] |
