Primary Identifier | MGI:95752 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 1 | NCBI Gene Number | 14660 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables glutaminase activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in glutamate biosynthetic process; glutamine catabolic process; and protein homotetramerization. Acts upstream of or within chemical synaptic transmission; regulation of respiratory gaseous exchange by nervous system process; and suckling behavior. Predicted to be located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 71. Orthologous to human GLS (glutaminase). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations die within 1 day postnatally with abnormal respiratory function and goal-oriented behavior toward dam. Mice homozygous for another allele exhibit abnormal TNFA-stimulated astrocyte extracellular vesicle release. [provided by MGI curators] |
