Primary Identifier | MGI:1924139 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 76889 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable ATP binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cerebellar Purkinje cell layer morphogenesis and ubiquinone biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and spinal cord. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nephrotic syndrome type 9. Orthologous to human COQ8B (coenzyme Q8B). PHENOTYPE: Conditional knockout in kidney podocytes results in chronic kidney disease and premature death. [provided by MGI curators] |
