Primary Identifier | MGI:1860093 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 56018 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable lipid binding activity. Acts upstream of or within bile acid secretion and positive regulation of peroxisome proliferator activated receptor signaling pathway. Located in several cellular components, including cytosol; intercellular canaliculus; and microvillus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; eye; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system. Orthologous to human STARD10 (StAR related lipid transfer domain containing 10). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit altered bile acid homeostasis. [provided by MGI curators] |
