| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable 1-alkyl-2-acetylglycerophosphocholine esterase activity; platelet-activating factor acetyltransferase activity; and protein dimerization activity. Involved in spermatogenesis. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lymphoma. Orthologous to human PAFAH1B2 (platelet activating factor acetylhydrolase 1b catalytic subunit 2). PHENOTYPE: Male homozygous null mice exhibit a significant reduction in testis size. In one allele, abnormal spermatogenesis and male infertility has been reported. [provided by MGI curators] |
