Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 78653 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Acts upstream of or within several processes, including energy homeostasis; protein lipoylation; and response to lipoic acid. Is active in mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in multiple mitochondrial dysfunctions syndrome 2. Orthologous to human BOLA3 (bolA family member 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice in which the gene is deleted in fat tissue, show impaired glucose tolerance, impaired norepinephrine-induced brown adipose tissue thermogenesis, increased weight gain at thermoneutral temperature and decreased brown adipose tissue glucose uptake [provided by MGI curators] |
