Primary Identifier | MGI:2685017 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 234155 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables serine O-acyltransferase activity. Involved in peptidyl-serine octanoylation and protein decanoylation. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in ductus deferens; prostate gland; and testis. Orthologous to human MBOAT4 (membrane bound O-acyltransferase domain containing 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for null mutations lack the mature form of ghrelin in the plasma and display abnormal responses to changes in diet. [provided by MGI curators] |
