Primary Identifier | MGI:2385656 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 94180 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable long-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase activity and very long-chain fatty acid-CoA ligase activity. Acts upstream of or within response to glucocorticoid. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; face; genitourinary system; integumental system; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in adrenoleukodystrophy. Orthologous to human ACSBG1 (acyl-CoA synthetase bubblegum family member 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display abnormalities in gonadotropin induced changes in testosterone production, Leydig cell morphology and long chain and very long chain fatty acid levels.
