Primary Identifier | MGI:88490 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 9 | NCBI Gene Number | 12903 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable fatty acid binding activity and retinoic acid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in fatty acid transport. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human CRABP1 (cellular retinoic acid binding protein 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations are phenotypically normal and fertile. [provided by MGI curators] |
