| Primary Identifier | MGI:1098236 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 13 | NCBI Gene Number | 12380 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable calcium-dependent cysteine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity and protease binding activity. Predicted to be involved in egg activation and negative regulation of type B pancreatic cell apoptotic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within protein catabolic process. Located in membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; gonad; immune system; lung; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in PLACK syndrome; Parkinson's disease; autoimmune disease (multiple); congenital myasthenic syndrome 1A; and vasculitis. Orthologous to human CAST (calpastatin). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knockout allele exhibit augmented DNA fragmentation in CA1 pyramidal neurons following excitotoxic kainate treatment.
