Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable hydroxymethylglutaryl-CoA lyase activity. Predicted to be involved in ketone body biosynthetic process and leucine catabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within lipid metabolic process. Predicted to be located in membrane and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including blastocyst; extraembryonic component; limb; nervous system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human HMGCLL1 (3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl-CoA lyase like 1).
