description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Involved in sensory perception of pain. Located in membrane and mitochondrion. Is active in synaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including gonad; gut; nervous system; submandibular gland primordium; and tooth. Orthologous to human NIPSNAP1 (nipsnap homolog 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele treated with nocistatin fail to exhibit suppression of neuropeptide nociceptin/orphanin FQ-induced tactile allodynia. [provided by MGI curators] |
