Primary Identifier | MGI:95479 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 14080 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables chromatin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to hydrogen peroxide; negative regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity; and positive regulation of fatty acid beta-oxidation. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; liver; and testis. Orthologous to human FABP1 (fatty acid binding protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a disruption in this gene do not show any obvious morphological, behavioral, or reproductive abnormalities. Changes may be observed in lipid composition, lipid binding, or levels of lipid binding proteins. [provided by MGI curators] |
