Primary Identifier | MGI:1345167 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 23923 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable protein homodimerization activity and transaminase activity. Predicted to be involved in 2-oxoglutarate metabolic process; glutamate metabolic process; and kynurenine metabolic process. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; heart; liver; and metanephros. Orthologous to human AADAT (aminoadipate aminotransferase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice are viable and display earlier eye opening and development of air righting and open field crossing responses, and transient hyperactivity and neuronal abnormalities.
