Primary Identifier | MGI:1916142 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 76974 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables hydroxyisourate hydrolase activity. Involved in several processes, including allantoin metabolic process; nucleobase-containing small molecule metabolic process; and urate catabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is active in peroxisome. Used to study hyperuricemia. Orthologous to human URAHP (urate (hydroxyiso-) hydrolase, pseudogene). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for an ENU mutation have an elevated platelet cell number, display hepatomegaly and hepatocellular carcinoma. [provided by MGI curators] |
