| Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 18979 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables arylesterase activity. Acts upstream of or within cholesterol metabolic process and response to toxic substance. Predicted to be part of spherical high-density lipoprotein particle. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); cerebrovascular disease (multiple); eye disease (multiple); glucose metabolism disease (multiple); and hematologic cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human PON1 (paraoxonase 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in increased susceptibility to organophosphate toxicity and atherosclerosis when fed a high-fat/cholesterol diet. Females exhibit increased LDL and VLD cholesterol levels. Macrophages show increased oxidative stress. [provided by MGI curators] |
