Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables dephospho-CoA kinase activity and pantetheine-phosphate adenylyltransferase activity. Involved in coenzyme A biosynthetic process. Is active in mitochondrial outer membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation 6. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in mucopolysaccharidosis III; neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation 6; and pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 12. Orthologous to human COASY (Coenzyme A synthase).
