Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 71755 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables D-xylose 1-dehydrogenase (NADP+) activity. Acts upstream of or within D-xylose catabolic process. Is expressed in nervous system and respiratory system. Orthologous to human DHDH (dihydrodiol dehydrogenase). PHENOTYPE: This locus controls electrophoretic variation in xylose dehydrogenase. The a allele determines a fast anodally migrating band in IS/Cam; the b allele determines a slower band in most inbreds; the c allele determines no band in 101/H. a/b heterozygotes show 3-bands, suggesting the enzyme is a dimer.
