Primary Identifier | MGI:1919348 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 72098 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable phospholipid:diacylglycerol acyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in triglyceride biosynthetic process. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system. Orthologous to human TMEM68 (transmembrane protein 68). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele are viable but show a significant delay in rapid postnatal growth, decreased body fat mass, decreased triglyceride levels in serum, brain and liver, and an increased respiratory quotient in response to fasting.
