| Primary Identifier | MGI:1351636 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 27364 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Enables several functions, including amino-acid racemase activity; anion binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within D-serine biosynthetic process and L-serine metabolic process. Predicted to be located in apical part of cell and neuronal cell body. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in facial bone primordium and nervous system. Used to study schizophrenia. Orthologous to human SRR (serine racemase). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit decreased D-serine levels in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus, and neuronal damage associated with NMDA excitotoxicity and beta-amyloid peptide 1-42 exposure is decreased.
