Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables citrate (Si)-synthase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including acetyl-CoA metabolic process; carboxylic acid metabolic process; and tricarboxylic acid cycle. Located in mitochondrion. Is active in mitochondrial matrix. 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 dilated cardiomyopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Orthologous to human CS (citrate synthase).
