| Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 67420 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables alcohol-forming very long-chain fatty acyl-CoA reductase activity. Involved in wax biosynthetic process. Located in peroxisome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctate type 4. Orthologous to human FAR1 (fatty acyl-CoA reductase 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele show partial preweaning lethality, postnatal growth retardation, small testes, and male infertility associated with azoospermia, spermatogenesis arrest, disrupted intercellular bridge formation, multinucleated giant germ cells, and increased male germ cell apoptosis.
