Primary Identifier | MGI:2385186 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 3 | NCBI Gene Number | 229725 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0) Predicted to enable chloride channel activity. Predicted to be involved in chloride transport. Predicted to act upstream of or within monoatomic ion transmembrane transport. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus; mitochondria-associated endoplasmic reticulum membrane contact site; and nucleus. Predicted to be part of chloride channel complex. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and integumental system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in retinitis pigmentosa 32. Orthologous to human CLCC1 (chloride channel CLIC like 1). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a spontaneous mutation show strain-dependent cerebellar granule cell death and peripheral motor axon degeneration. The peripheral neuropathy, neurogenic muscular atrophy and mild truncal ataxia observed on the C57BL/6J background are not found on the C3H/HeSnJ background. [provided by MGI curators] |
