Primary Identifier | MGI:1194506 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 20713 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable serine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of neuron projection development. Located in neuronal cell body and secretory granule lumen. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; genitourinary system; intestine; nervous system; and retina. Used to study familial encephalopathy with neuroserpin inclusion bodies. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial encephalopathy with neuroserpin inclusion bodies. Orthologous to human SERPINI1 (serpin family I member 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a disruption in this gene show no change in brain morphology or histology. However, they show an increase avoidance of novel stimuli and increased anxiety responses in some situations. [provided by MGI curators] |
