Primary Identifier | MGI:1347100 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 26459 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables cholate-CoA ligase activity and fatty acid transmembrane transporter activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including ketone body biosynthetic process; long-chain fatty acid import across plasma membrane; and triglyceride mobilization. Located in basal plasma membrane. Is expressed in liver. Orthologous to human SLC27A5 (solute carrier family 27 member 5). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit altered lipid homeostasis. [provided by MGI curators] |
