About Mest

Summary

Predicted to enable hydrolase activity. Involved in regulation of lipid storage and response to retinoic acid. Located in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; extraembryonic component; heart and pericardium; and neural retina. Used to study Barth syndrome. Orthologous to human MEST (mesoderm specific transcript). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
