Predicted to enable NADP binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cell redox homeostasis; intracellular oxygen homeostasis; and positive regulation of hydrogen peroxide catabolic process. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; musculature; respiratory system; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial glucocorticoid deficiency. Orthologous to human NNT (nicotinamide nucleotide transhydrogenase).
MGI Description
PHENOTYPE: Mutations in this gene cause impaired glucose tolerance and loss of both glucose-dependent insulin secretion and ATP production in isolated pancreatic islets. Also, beta cells from ENU-induced mutants show enhanced glucose utilization and production of reactive oxygen species in response to glucose. [provided by MGI curators]
