Primary Identifier | MGI:2685427 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 100039953 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Acts upstream of or within non-motile cilium assembly; protein localization to non-motile cilium; and sensory perception of smell. Located in Golgi membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including craniocervical region bone; hindbrain; limb segment; lung; and nose. Orthologous to human GFY (golgi associated olfactory signaling regulator). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null mutation display short olfactory epithelium (OE) cilia, reduced odorant induced local field potentials in the OE and impaired olfaction.
