| Primary Identifier | MGI:2156528 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 170439 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables acyltransferase activity, transferring groups other than amino-acyl groups. Involved in positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Acts upstream of or within fatty acid elongation. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ELOVL6 (ELOVL fatty acid elongase 6). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null gene trap mutation exhibit enhanced motor coordination. Female homozygotes exhibit decreased serum cholesterol levels. [provided by MGI curators] |
