| Primary Identifier | MGI:1096386 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 15486 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable estradiol 17-beta-dehydrogenase [NAD(P)+] activity and testosterone dehydrogenase (NAD+) activity. Acts upstream of or within in utero embryonic development and placenta development. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be active in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; genitourinary system; gut; labyrinthine zone; and liver. Orthologous to human HSD17B2 (hydroxysteroid 17-beta dehydrogenase 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for disruptions in this gene display embryonic lethality starting at E11.5 and placenta defects. The few mutants that survive to birth exhibit enlarged brain ventricles, cerebral cortex abnormalities and a single kidney. [provided by MGI curators] |
