Chromosome | 10 | NCBI Gene Number | 28240 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables ligand-gated calcium channel activity and manganese ion transmembrane transporter activity. Involved in several processes, including calcium ion transmembrane import into cytosol; cellular response to temperature stimulus; and dendritic cell chemotaxis. Acts upstream of or within manganese ion transport and response to hydroperoxide. Located in cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; lysosomal membrane; and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; heart; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human TRPM2 (transient receptor potential cation channel subfamily M member 2). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele display impaired reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced chemokine production in monocytes, and reduced neutrophil infiltration and ulceration in a dextran sulfate sodium-induced colitis inflammation model.
