Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 329910 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable long-chain fatty acyl-CoA hydrolase activity. Involved in negative regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis and response to cold. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial matrix. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Orthologous to human ACOT11 (acyl-CoA thioesterase 11). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display resistance to high fat diet induced obesity, inflammation and hepatic steatosis, increased energy expenditure, increased brown adipose tissue amount, and increased food intake.
