Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 17364 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables monoatomic cation channel activity. Involved in cellular response to light stimulus. Acts upstream of or within protein localization; retinal rod cell development; and signal transduction. Located in new growing cell tip. Is active in cell tip and dendrite. Is expressed in foregut; reproductive system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital stationary night blindness and congenital stationary night blindness 1C. Orthologous to human TRPM1 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 1). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutants have defects in rod and cone electrophysiology affecting the photoresponses. [provided by MGI curators] |
