Primary Identifier | MGI:2387214 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 6 | NCBI Gene Number | 243634 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Enables identical protein binding activity and intracellular calcium activated chloride channel activity. Acts upstream of or within chloride transport and establishment of localization in cell. Located in neuron projection; non-motile cilium; and plasma membrane. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and presynaptic membrane. Is expressed in dorsal root ganglion; epidermis; medulla oblongata basal plate mantle layer; olfactory epithelium; and spinal cord mantle layer. Orthologous to human ANO2 (anoctamin 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele lack calcium-activated chloride currents in the main olfactory epithelium and vomeronasal organ but normal olfaction in behavioral tasks.
