Primary Identifier | MGI:1919227 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 243983 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables magnesium ion transmembrane transporter activity and palmitoyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in magnesium ion transmembrane transport. Located in Golgi membrane and Golgi-associated vesicle membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; esophagus epithelium; genitourinary system; molar; and sensory organ. Used to study Huntington's disease. Orthologous to human ZDHHC13 (zinc finger DHHC-type palmitoyltransferase 13). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for an ENU mutation display wasting, weight loss, hair loss (alopecia), reduced bone mineral density (osteoporosis), and generalized amyloid deposition, which resulted in early death.
