Primary Identifier | MGI:96213 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 15445 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase activity; iron ion binding activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Predicted to be involved in tyrosine catabolic process. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in Golgi membrane and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in alimentary system; liver; musculature; and respiratory system. Used to study tyrosinemia type III. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hawkinsinuria and tyrosinemia type III. Orthologous to human HPD (4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase). PHENOTYPE: CBA, C3H, DBA/2, SM and AKR have the F.1 form of this soluble liver antigen; A/J, A2G, BALB/c and C57BL/10 the F.2 form. F.2 antigen induces precipitating antibodies in F.1 but not F.2 strains and vice versa. F antigen immune response requires H2 Kk or Ak alleles. [provided by MGI curators] |
