Primary Identifier | MGI:2385908 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 17 | NCBI Gene Number | 240058 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable calcium-dependent phospholipid binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular response to calcium ion and positive regulation of dendrite extension. Located in neuron projection and neuronal cell body. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; impulse conducting system; liver; male reproductive gland or organ; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human CPNE5 (copine 5). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit normal growth, brain structure, locomotor activity and memory, but show a decreased anxiety-related response in the elevated plus maze and elevated platform task.
