About Acat1

Primary_assembly 8: 53,979,813-54,008,855 reverse strand.mRatBN7.2:CM026981.1

This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 202 orthologues, 7 paralogues and is associated with 10 phenotypes. Biased expression in Heart (RPKM 1952.7), Kidney (RPKM 13.6) and 9 other tissues.

Summary

Enables several functions, including acetyl-CoA C-acetyltransferase activity; coenzyme A binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; response to hormone; and response to starvation. Located in mitochondrial matrix. Biomarker of end stage renal disease and nephrotic syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in beta-ketothiolase deficiency and carbohydrate metabolic disorder. Orthologous to human ACAT1 (acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
