Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Predicted to enable fibroblast growth factor receptor binding activity and growth factor activity. Involved in regulation of synapse maturation and trans-synaptic signaling. Located in Golgi apparatus; cell surface; and nucleolus. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and postsynapse. Is extrinsic component of postsynaptic density membrane. Is expressed in brain; early conceptus; gonad; spinal cord; and tongue. Orthologous to human FGF22 (fibroblast growth factor 22). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit impaired vesicle clustering in glutamatergic synapses, decreased miniature excitatory postsynaptic currents, enhanced paired-pulse facilitation, increased synaptic depression, and decreased susceptibility topentylenetetrazol-induced seizures.
