Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable protein-disulfide reductase activity. Involved in mitochondrial respiratory chain complex assembly. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; mitochondrial DNA repair; and regulation of protein export from nucleus. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in brain; embryo; liver; and spleen. Orthologous to human CHCHD4 (coiled-coil-helix-coiled-coil-helix domain containing 4). PHENOTYPE: Embryos homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit respiratory electron transport chain defects, growth retardation, and complete embryonic lethality. Heterozygotes are viable and overtly normal but show decreased susceptibility to diet-induced obesity. [provided by MGI curators] |
