| Primary Identifier | MGI:1933210 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 107770 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in lipid homeostasis and regulation of lipid metabolic process. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment membrane. Is expressed in lower urinary tract and testis. Orthologous to human TM6SF2 (transmembrane 6 superfamily member 2). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a null allele show hepatosteatosis, hypocholesterolemia, increased serum alanine transaminase level, reduced VLDL-TG secretion, small VLDL particles, and lipid accumulation in enterocytes. Homozygotes for another null allele show reduced total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol levels. [provided by MGI curators] |
