Primary Identifier | MGI:107898 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 28042 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables ethanolaminephosphotransferase activity. Involved in ether lipid biosynthetic process and myelination. Predicted to be active in Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in brain. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary spastic paraplegia 81. Orthologous to human SELENOI (selenoprotein I). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit early-stage embryonic lethality prior to E6.5, with a rare survival to the perinatal stage. [provided by MGI curators] |
