| Primary Identifier | MGI:106686 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 269823 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable carboxylic ester hydrolase activity and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in negative regulation of superoxide anion generation. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver and biliary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease; amyotrophic lateral sclerosis; and atherosclerosis. Orthologous to human PON3 (paraoxonase 3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a null allele show prenatal and postnatal lethality. Homozygotes for a different null allele are viable but show altered lipid and bile acid metabolism, impaired mitochondrial respiration, and increased susceptibility to diet-induced atherosclerosis, gallstone formation, and obesity.
