Official Full Name: acetyl-CoA acetyltransferase 1provided by RGD
Primary source: RGD:2016
See related: EnsemblRapid:ENSRNOG00000007862 AllianceGenome:RGD:2016
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED

Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Rattus
Also known as: RATACAL
Summary: Enables several functions, including acetyl-CoA C-acetyltransferase activity; coenzyme A binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including adipose tissue development; liver development; and metanephric proximal convoluted tubule development. 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, Dec 2024]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
