Primary Identifier | MGI:1913321 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 66071 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; iron ion binding activity; and sulfur dioxygenase activity. Predicted to be involved in glutathione metabolic process and hydrogen sulfide metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in gallbladder; genitourinary system; gut; nervous system; and vascular system. Used to study ethylmalonic encephalopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in ethylmalonic encephalopathy. Orthologous to human ETHE1 (ETHE1 persulfide dioxygenase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display premature death with elevated levels of hydrogen sulfide and thiosulfates. [provided by MGI curators] |
