Primary Identifier | MGI:2445114 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 320951 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable phosphatidylserine decarboxylase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including lipid droplet formation; mitochondrial protein catabolic process; and phosphatidylethanolamine biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human PISD (phosphatidylserine decarboxylase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation in this gene display embryogenesis defects such as abnormal trophoblast development, abnormal extraembronic tissue morphology and abnormal mitochondrial morphology.
