Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 15107 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables 3-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase activity. Involved in positive regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis and regulation of insulin secretion. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia 4. Orthologous to human HADH (hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a gene trap allele exhibit decreased susceptibility to diet-induced obesity associated with impaired fatty acid oxidation, impaired fat tolerance, decreased ketone bodies, and increased glucose-stimulated insulin secretion. Mice homozygous for a different null allele exhibit reduced male fertility associated with oligoasthenoteratozoospermia. [provided by MGI curators] |
