Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 99712 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables phosphotransferase activity, for other substituted phosphate groups. Acts upstream of or within phosphatidylcholine biosynthetic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in alimentary system; cranium; nervous system; nose; and urinary system. Orthologous to human CEPT1 (choline/ethanolamine phosphotransferase 1). PHENOTYPE: Conditional homozygous knockout in skeletal muscle leads to improved glucose tolerance, increased insulin sensitivity and muscle weakness in mice fed a high fat diet.
