Primary Identifier | MGI:1914778 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 67528 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables coenzyme A diphosphatase activity; magnesium ion binding activity; and snoRNA binding activity. Involved in nucleoside phosphate catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within brown fat cell differentiation. Located in peroxisome. Orthologous to human NUDT7 (nudix hydrolase 7). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit increased susceptibility to DMM surgery-induced osteoarthritis or severe cartilage degeneration on a phytol enriched diet.
