Primary Identifier | MGI:103100 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 8 | NCBI Gene Number | 12354 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables carbonate dehydratase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of GABAergic synaptic transmission; positive regulation of cellular pH reduction; and regulation of chloride transport. Located in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; genitourinary system; inner ear; liver; and trunk. Orthologous to human CA7 (carbonic anhydrase 7). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit reduced and atypical experimental febrile seizures with the absence of electrographic seizures and abnormal GABA-mediated receptor currents.
