Cloned(Commentary)

Cloned (Comment) Organism
the PEMT gene is localized to chromosome 11 and spans 25 kb with seven exons and six introns, expression analysis Mus musculus

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
additional information construction of Pemt-/- mice lacking all enzyme activity, but with no abnormal phenotype, normal hepatocyte morphology, normal plasma lipid levels, and no differences in bile composition compared to the wild-type mice, but the phenotype is altered after withdrawal of phosphatidylcholine and production of it, overview. In the liver-specific CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase alpha knock-out mice, PEMT activity is increased nearly 2fold above control levels. The double knockout mutant shows a dramatic decrease in hepatic phosphatidylcholine, overview Mus musculus
