[GPSN2_HUMAN] Defects in TECR are the cause of mental retardation autosomal recessive type 14 (MRT14) [MIM:614020]. Mental retardation is characterized by significantly below average general intellectual functioning associated with impairments in adaptative behavior and manifested during the developmental period.[1]
Function
[GPSN2_HUMAN] Reduces trans-2,3-stearoyl-CoA to stearoyl-CoA of long and very long chain fatty acids.[2]
