Primary Identifier | MGI:1914131 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 66881 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables prenylcysteine oxidase activity. Acts upstream of or within prenylcysteine catabolic process. Located in lysosome. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; integumental system; limb; nervous system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human PCYOX1 (prenylcysteine oxidase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable, fertile and free of obvious pathology despite a striking accumulation of both farnesylcysteine and geranylgeranylcysteine in brain and liver.
