Primary Identifier | MGI:1915415 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 68165 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable electron transfer activity. Predicted to be involved in [2Fe-2S] cluster assembly and electron transport chain. Located in mitochondrion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mitochondrial myopathy. Orthologous to human FDX2 (ferredoxin 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice either heterozygous or homozygous for a knock-out allele are viable but exhibit obesity and a shortened lifespan and are susceptible to spontaneous tumors and steatohepatitis.
