Primary Identifier | MGI:3522699 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 277328 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables calcium channel activity. Involved in cell surface receptor signaling pathway; detection of mechanical stimulus involved in sensory perception; and response to organic cyclic compound. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including detection of stimulus involved in sensory perception of pain; response to hydrogen peroxide; and thermoception. Located in stereocilium bundle. Is expressed in cochlea; dorsal root ganglion; glossopharyngeal ganglion; and lumbar dorsal root ganglion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial episodic pain syndrome 1. Orthologous to human TRPA1 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily A member 1). PHENOTYPE: Mutations in this gene result in altered nociception and neuron responses to isothiocyanate or thiosulfinate compounds like those found in mustard oil and garlic.
