Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 270076 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable fatty-acyl-CoA binding activity; flavin adenine dinucleotide binding activity; and glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase activity. Predicted to be involved in fatty acid beta-oxidation using acyl-CoA dehydrogenase and fatty-acyl-CoA biosynthetic process. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver and biliary system. Used to study glutaric acidemia I. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in glutaric acidemia I. Orthologous to human GCDH (glutaryl-CoA dehydrogenase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for a targeted null mutation exhibit a mild motor deficit associated with a diffuse spongiform myelinopathy and elevated levels of glutaric acid and 3-hydroxyglutaric acid.
